The-Thrasher-Group

I sent three months as a summer intern at Thrasher in the utilities division. The pay was decent given my lack of experience, and I never felt like I was under undue pressure. Honestly, they struggled to come up with work for me to do, and I was often bored. Long-term employees with better credentials than I had may have different experiences, but my supervisor joked as I was leaving that I got more done than some of the actual engineers. In general, I got the impression that the pace of work was pretty slow, partly because of how much of the work involved communicating with government departments.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The brainwashing upper management is able to conduct on employees 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The lack of communication, the expectation to read minds, and the inability to pay employees their worth 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Partners/Upper Management are treated with respect. Anyone working below that level are unknown and disregarded

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Contracted for thousands of dollars/daily

Company receives 98%
Employee receives 2%

We were not allowed to put in or be paid for hours that we worked in certain instances just because it might blow the Project Manager's poorly structured budget. We were given unrealistic and limited amounts of time to complete certain documents or field work. In instances and with certain PMs; we were instructed to ignore unethical events/circumstances, we were asked to help hide or cover up client's illegal operations. 

You work a boatload of hours when you survey on pipeline. The pay isn't terrible, but you're typically the lowest paid guys on the right of way, which is kind of depressing for as much running back and forth as you do. As a crew leader, you have a company truck and gas card, which is nice. The company seems involved and has picnics and get togethers and such. Not a bad to work.

Thrasher continues to  improve healthy work and consumer experience and outcome. Management and staff truly cares for the genuine customer experience!  The culture is ideal for working and provides stellar service to the region. The work ethic is set to high standards and helps push you to become better at your job. I enjoyed working with my co-workers and management teams!

Thrasher's company culture could only be compared to the likes of Google or new age silicone valley startups. I've never worked in such a tight knit, morale-oriented workplace at all let alone in construction - where morale is often its lowest in the work force. Be prepared to work long hours and spend most weekdays out of town however. They claim to be 50% travel, but its more like 75% for most.

There are backstabbers in every company INCLUDING THRASHER.there are a few good people that work there but for the most part dont ever TRUST ANYONE youll be told one thing then something completely different happens.they do offer 1 to 3 paid sick days after probation period.sick leave/ Great benefits package and 401k is matched dollar for dollar.if you get hired watch your back in every way..

Used to be a great place to work until politics and egos became more important than the business.  Very poorly managed company.  Management was struggling before the pandemic, no way they could guide the company through what was coming.  They either got rid of or made good, key employees leave.  They are more of an accounting firm rather than an engineering firm.

Small company, but with resources of a larger company.  

Works is distributed across multiple offices, with the most logical field crews performing jobs.  Operates like one big office, with nearly a brotherhood of survey managers.  Appreciated how we worked together even though separated by hundreds of miles.

work life balance is not great, hours suck in the colder months. Pay is okay should be more. Good money in the summer because lots of overtime. You do get a work truck which is nice. Some of the project managers are pretty bad.
