A team member's positive or negative experience and eligibility for professional advancement rely heavily on what type of role they have (e.g.  Project Management v Business Administration), which region you work in, and which USE company you work for.  Leadership styles are drastically different among the last two.  "Family friendly" may often mean nepotism, favoritism level of comfort due to outside of work relationships and/or length of service.  Professionals from outside of the industry are held in suspicion and left out of critical communications and decision making creating silos and a very steep and obstacle laden path to success and job satisfaction.  USE is a long standing and successful company that has begun the arduous task of seriously recognizing, owning and dealing with its cultural issues which includes its people and business practices.  Diversity, equity and inclusion are in the embryonic stages.  I truly like and admire the majority of the team members I work with.  It may take a changing of the guard to knock down all of the road blocks to overall progress and success for the organization as a whole.

A typical day begin with excitement, preparing the day for work flow activities on the jobsite, making sure the team was prepared with the tools needed, getting documentation prepare for each project manager, handling all filing, correspondence,meeting, and making sure the team was equipped with updates information and time frame changes at all time, as well as maintaining the office function.  The hardest part of this job was being laid off.  I worked with a team that understand the word "Team" and we made things happen, save money and made sure our client was happy by providing the best Customer Service a client deserves.

I enjoyed my time at the company, The management were easy to get along with and helpful. I learned a lot about running construction crews and all manner of scheduling and reports. The hardest part of the job was the daily travel to and from construction sited all over north east Colorado. it was usually a 2 to 3 hour endeavor getting to and from work. i enjoyed the daily challenges that come with construction.  I worked mostly in the field construction side of the company. Office personnel had different benefits and compensation packages.

Every morning meet in large group and perform stretch and flex.  then meet with your department for jsa. Talk about who gets what tasks. Get your equipment checked in and running. Then start tasks. Tasks were subject to change throughout the day so always had to be able to accommodate. You learn how to be very creative in loading of material on trailers to insure they ride safely to delivery site. The culture and people make it very exciting.

Not very organized when it comes to labor and making sure the right people are where they need to be. Example was putting a solid field guy in the shop, while having multiple employees experienced in the shop and keep them in the field. As well as having a review. One employee does bad and has attendance issues and the other good and no attendance issues and they lay off the better employee. Management is not great there. A few are good and want to help you. 

Typical day would be setting up equipment for use throughout the day. Then laying out what the various trades need for the hangers. I would also have to train and show others in the company how to do what I was doing. There was times where I would go out and take some shots for as builds. I was able to learn some of the pipe and hvac trades part of layout and blueprint reading.

Maybe I am not interested in doing something that would be a bad thing to do but I don’t think I would have any problems because I was told to do whatever the person running the job told me to do and then I was told I was laying down on the job and was fired

We would replace filters and perform preventative maintenance on the multitude of AHU, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, exhaust fans, heaters, A/C units and safety showers.  We replaced belts, lubricated bearings and ensured that the unit is functioning correctly.

All the companies that i've worked for from 2002 to now where union  affiliated.I learned that outsiders are at a disadvantage when working for these companies.But this company was as fair as any other and managed the jobs and people very well.

Great atmosphere to work in a team and try different technologies and methods to deliver the end product. Just wish they would have budgeted better to keep me on after the internship!
