Pros

Honestly, the only reason I can think of to work for this company is the Office Manager Danielle, she is honest, helpful and tries to make up for the lack of leadership from the CEO and COO.

Cons

Training was a joke, and getting the manager to respond to repeated requests for help was impossible. The company is overextended on payroll and completely unprofessional in their support of existing staff.

We have terrific support people here and we are very appreciative of what they do to make our jobs easier every day. We are perpetually improving our training process and there is always a senior person available to answer questions on the spot. Our Professional Division Director Liz,now new Engineering Division Director Kadie and myself are all only a step, text, call or email away to answer any questions on the spot. If you did ask for help and did not receive it, please let me know and I will immediately address that instance with our managers. -Dixie

Pros

Knowledgeable leadership, relaxed atmosphere, great company culture, generous compensation plan.

Cons

It is a very small company so the opportunity for growth is just not available. The dependency on the economy (ie. Oil & Gas Clients, an election year (2020)). It can be a fickle industry when working on executive positions.

Pros

Where do I begin? Switchgear has a beautiful office space. We eat cake when we we get the opportunity to celebrate a success! We are a family and are always there for one another! We are unpredictable and you never know what shenanigans we are up to! We aren’t afraid to admit we don’t know everything and are always open to learning. Switchgear is a small company who has made mistakes but does learn from them. (Large companies make mistakes as well you just don’t get an opportunity to see them on the front row like you do in a small organization.) You get to see how a business operates from the bottomall the way up! You will be challenged far beyond than what you expected to be, trust me! You get to choose how successful you want to be here and ther are no limits! You voice is heard even though the decision made may not be exactly what you wanted. Management does listen and cares about every single employee.

Cons

If you are someone who is afraid of growing and being challenged then this isn’t the place for you. Changes are bound to happen in a small company as they grow so be adaptable. The changes made are in the best interest for the employees and the company.

Thanks so much for this! You're right, we are only human and make mistakes but we do our best to learn from them and not make them again. We have a lot of fun and make available avenues for everyone to be heard. The only thing constant around here is change-and more will happen in 2019 as we grow our team. We can't wait to see the future!
