Pros

*Great Co-Workers - Everyone has a very strong team attitude. There is family feel to the office. Everyone teases and jokes around with each other. *Strong Work Ethic/Community - Everyone pulls their own weight and also pitches in when someone else needs help. *Opportunities to Learn New Things - Everyone here loves to share their knowledge. All you have to do is ask. In addition to wealth of knowledge available in the office, I've gotten to take a few training classes, leadership classes and online courses. The company also has a tuition reimbursement program. *Opportunities for Promotions / New Positions - Over the past almost 12 years, I've held a variety of positions, and learned so many new skills. If you try to be open to new new opportunities, easy to get along with and to do your best work every day, there will be no limits for you other than time (sometimes you have to wait for a new position to open up). *Amazing Health Benefits - Seriously, my family and friends are jealous.

Cons

Every company has its ups and downs, but I've have a lot more ups here. Almost every con I can think of could have been remedied by me. Everyone has to advocate for him or herself. This is a busy, fast paced environment, so you can't just hope that your problem gets noticed. Speak up!

Pros

Good pay and great benefits are about the only thing good about this company.

Cons

If you are single, want to make money and don't mind working long hours, this is the place for you. Be careful not to get hurt though, that will be your end. MYR makes it a point to go with the employee to the doctors office, tells them not to worry about it, tells the doctor how to write up a report, so it does not reflect badly on them or on the OSHA logs. you can check the safety reports and see most employees refuse treatment or medications. Can you say the work intimidation? Then takes forever to pay the bill from the visit. Training is does not exist. They put people in management positions who never have been, and do not know how to manage people, then gives them free reign to do what they want. Politics play a lot in this company, if your are not a "company man" you won't last. This company wants to be your life. This is no balance with work and family, Some employees go months without seeing their families. They say they are big on helping their employees get through anything, but that does not happen either. Bottom line is you have to be single to work with this company and not want any social life, and do what ever they ask, no matter what the cost.
