Vaughn Industries, LLC

Vaughn is worthy of being recognized for giving opportunity for those with lack of experience or none at all. Unfortunately, it can cripple the company due to not hiring a sufficient enough experienced work force and their resigning current more experienced workers. This limits Vaughn's options in bidding for jobs, but most importantly safety throughout the workplace.

The benefits meet satisfactory requirements but is more fit to those whom use their health insurance frequently or none at all. Those who are the occasional doctor go-or do not benefit due to the high deductible that must be met before anything is covered. 401k for the contractors are not matched. Paid holidays have just started recently and are only a select few. It is unjustified on how much "actual" planned time off a person is awarded, even though they have a guideline for time-put-in the company, some time over the guideline will be awarded if asked. But planned time off is unpaid.

Required to meet at the shop to load tools/material, fuel trucks, and hook up to equipment which is unpaid unless you are driving a company vehicle that requires a CDL, company pickup to the job is unpaid, regardless of how long the drive is. Workers who live out of state and drive to the job with their personal vehicle be warned, you only are compensated with perdiem in the amount of $100 a night to cover hotel and food expenses, which is only awarded if work is cancelled the day of work, not the night before. Therefore, Foreman sees rain all day and believes it will rain all day so he calls off work, you either will travel all the way home for the day just to head back to the job, or pay out of pocket for your hotel and food.

Some foremen and upper management abuse their privileges by mocking their workers, taking advantage of them, blackmailing workers, etc. Some foremen are very informative and instructive, but with attitude as well. Many work schedules will be based on Foreman personal schedules. Employees will go short on hours because the employee wants to see his nephew play basketball or what not.

If a job is near your place of residence, they will not always consider you as a person to be on that job, and if you request it, a big ordeal is made about it.

Vaughn Industries is a decent place to go to work and that's about it. You worry about work instead of anything else because you will work and work and work just to receive 40 hours since they do not pay for you to wait the rain/wind conditions out unlike other electrical companies. When overtime is offered, the money pit employees work even more, and the pit stop employees almost never work overtime until they run out of money.

This is a standpoint from a lineman, I am unable to vouch for office or management benefits and conditions.

While working for this company some of the employees were good people to work with. Some of the employees were showed favortism due to family and friends who worked in management. The management team did not see proper values in employees and constantly lied to them and promised this and that and never came through with what was promised.
A typical day at work was driving company vehicle 2 and half hours one way to a job site with out any travel pay either way. I would spend over 80 hours away from home, family and school but was only paid for 40 hours of that time. To me this is not showing employees there graditude for the time they put into their company.

I’ve spent 14+ years at Vaughn Industries and continue to enjoy the daily challenges. It’s a large, innovative company that still operates with the heart of a family business. The culture is built on a foundation of safety and forward-thinking leadership.

The compensation and insurance are very competitive, and the company truly invests in its employees' success. If you are looking for a place where you can learn every day and maintain a great work-life balance, this is it.

A typical day of work includes a fast paced work environment and long hours, but the pay is good. I have learned skills for management of people, time management, and communication. The management is effective, but could be more open to the opinions of field employees. The hardest part of the job is the amount of traveling required. The most enjoyable part of the job is seeing a projects progression from start to finish.

Vaughn Industries is a great place to work! I enjoy working for this company because they find value in all of their employees.  It is very refreshing to see the mutual respect amongst all employees, from the CEO to entry level new hires. I feel the environment in which I work is very positive and productive. I would recommend anyone to apply to work at Vaughn! If you are looking to further your career and work as part of a successful team, Vaughn is the employer for you.

I was a contracted employee through Aerotek working for Vaughn Industries, I had to teach myself the needs of the office, but I am highly motivated so that went well. I enjoyed the pace and being my own boss within the office. The most enjoyable part of the job was the busy times and the folks who worked there.

I really like to work at Vaughn Industries. All of the people are very nice and accommodating. The bid industry is currently getting slack because of downloading, uploading, emailing and faxing that is being acceptable for completing bids. I need to find something to sustain our lifestyle.
