I must say, my tenure at this organization was marked by significant growing pains, particularly during the initial stages of their national fleet and maintenance contract acquisition. While there were some benefits to this transition, the drawbacks far outweighed them.

The company's assertion that they offer industry-leading wages is, quite frankly, misleading. It appears that such compensation is reserved for individuals who do not necessarily embody the values of reliability, punctuality, honesty, and integrity. Instead, those who demonstrate these traits are often exploited and undervalued.

My primary concerns lie with the middle management, whose competence and leadership skills are, in my opinion, severely lacking. The majority of managers I encountered were woefully unprofessional, with one notable exception who refused to terminate employees, despite overwhelming evidence of misconduct, including illicit activities and threats of violence.

Fortunately, I have since found a more suitable opportunity that aligns with my values and expectations. I can only hope that this organization will take steps to address its myriad issues and provide a more professional and respectful work environment for its employees.

I would recommend reconsidering your decision to apply to this company. The work environment is characterized by managers who engage in inappropriate behavior such as yelling, using profanity, and throwing objects around the Walmart shops. The owner of the company shows a lack of concern for these issues and is primarily focused on financial gain. Additionally, the company only offers one paid holiday, which is significantly limited compared to industry standards. The HR department is ineffective and unhelpful, again everything runs thru the owner. If you were to take on a management position, you would likely find yourself overwhelmed by the excessive workload, which could have a negative impact on your mental well-being. The company lacks culture, and respect for others. 

I would advise potential applicants to think twice before applying to this company. The work environment is challenging, with managers displaying unprofessional behavior such as yelling, swearing, and throwing objects. The owner seems primarily focused on profits, showing little concern for these issues. Additionally, the company offers only one paid holiday, which falls short of industry norms. The HR department is ineffective, making it feel like a struggle to get support. If you consider a management role, be prepared for an overwhelming workload that could negatively affect your mental health. I strongly discourage applying to TRS. It’s not a good place to work.

Think twice technicians, this place is a dead end job. No paid holidays. Pay is very low, raises are even lower. HR is very unresponsive and unhelpful. Management is just as bad, no communication and they go through managers left and right. Company is extremely cheap during my employment there all i saw was management change their company policy multiple times to benefit them and take away all workers perks, no more paid holidays, no more OT ect and then wonder why people quit all the time. Worked there for a year and saw over 5 people leave due to the manager. 

Highest turnover rate I've seen. There's a few people here that will keep you looking bad just to better themselves so you can't advance, They don't appreciate a good worker, management is no help. They have a new manager every year. They say there is overtime, but they pick and choose who can constantly can get it. 

The only advantage to this job is the schedule and the PTO. But the stress makes it not worth it. The pay scale doesn't make sense either. They'll pay people that don't have any experience more than the people that do. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Not hard to take off work when needed 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Everything!!!
Plus some of the senior citizen techs think they run the place and make you feel bad for doing something good.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful, constantly changing, like playing candyland with your three year old sister that changes the rules every 5seconds.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
My head just exploded in to a million pieces. Next question!

This place is absolutely a** backwards. They claim in their job posts that you can work overtime….FALSE! They will jump down your throat about every little thing you do. Upper management is a joke. They promise one thing and then hours later retract what they offer. Coworkers were amazing, but management needs to be overhauled. No holidays off, no sick days, no thank you. They will also underpay you for your time, then when you point it out they get angry For your own sanity avoid this place at all costs.. 

Toxic work place, management will have no problem writing you up, but will let the people they like get away with the same thing. Only take safety seriously when higher ups come into the shop. Watch your back because favoritism is a very big part of the shop. Be prepared to get yelled at or cussed at for the smallest things. The leads are a joke as well, playing favorites and being down right lazy. Whole shop needs a purge of leader ship to get it back to where it should be. To many chiefs not enough Indians 

A supportive culture where you can express your ideas or concerns and feel that you are being "heard". Freedom to run my work day without micro-managing, but with knowledge of what the expectations are daily. I enjoy coming in each day and working with my team. I enjoy having conversations with upper management and have the ability to make an impact in the organization!

This company does not appreciate their employees. There are no bonus’s or incentives.
They are always short handed and can’t keep good quality help here, so that should explain it all. If you are looking for a future and a company with good benefits then you should apply elsewhere but if you are fresh out of school and need some experience for your resume, naw I would still go elsewhere.
