Great place to work! But has major flaws - Mechanical Engineer III Coffman Engineers Employee Review

The dynamic you referenced about pay versus cost of living is a real dynamic nationwide, and industry wide. Historic inflation isn't helping matters. Companies can choose a more volatile path (i.e., high debt, hire/fire attitude). However, Coffman has always taken a more conservative approach, which has proved to be a more stable model. We have a good track record of growing through recessions. That is directly connected to the way we run our business and seems to be the best long-term service to our employees (as others are being furloughed). Doesn't mean we don't need to continually look at this, but our solution will likely be more conservative than our competitors. Thanks for the feedback. Dave Ruff - CEO
