Pros

Not much good here. I am a structural steel welder with many years experience. I passed their flux core tests but told them I have never welded pipe. They didnt listen and gave me a 6G tig test with one day of practice. Big surprise I didnt pass. This place sets people up to fail. They play favorites. Supervisors are all rude. If you are not on the favorites list you will be carbon arcing, installing insulation and other menial jobs no matter how skilled a welder you are. When workload diminishes you will be on a yard crew cleaning up their 40 years worth of junk. Antique welding machines and tools. Extremely dirty shop. Walls and paneling inside have holes and are basically falling apart. No personal development plans in place. No room for advancement. All the people who have been there for years are physically degraded and beat up. If you are gonna work that hard dont do it for $22/hour.

Cons

Their miller machines are from the 60s and 70s. They are a joke and all weigh around 500 pounds. Get ready to move them all over the building on wheeled carts by hand.

Pros

Nice people. Relaxed environment almost to a fault.

Cons

Zero sales through Q2 of 2015. Very unorganized. Processes and tools are very antiquated. A culture of work harder not smarter. Sales makes almost impossible promises hoping to be awarded projects. Has the feel of a company operating in the 80's and 90's. Competitors easily beat timelines and price. Corporate growth goals are ridiculous. A satellite office in the Denver CO area was opened in early 2014, was completely understaffed, and closed in August 2015 with those that had not left previously being let go. A two week company wide furlough in early July '15 due to poor sales. A sinking ship IMO.
