      Pros

      When the work is there, the pay is good, I mean really good. Sometimes you get lucky with a decent hotel or you don't have to share a room. Get paid mileage and per diem for hotel stay. People are nice.

      Cons

      Even if you're FULL TIME you don't necessarily get full time hours. They just want you to have full time availability, so there's that inconsistency and lack of job security. They claim to be generous with their mileage reimbursement but it barely covers the bare minimum and they take off 30 miles from home and to home meaning if you drove from home 100 miles to the project site and drove back, you're only getting 140 miles reimbursed.Which honestly would be fine IF they paid for the time you spent driving. And as for hotel stays, they book the hotels for you based on where you live, how far it is from you and the project site, blahblahblah. You'll get some crappy hotels. Oh and they use CLC for the most part, which wouldnt be a problem IF THEY GAVE YOU A CARD. You have to use a stupid sign in sheet and have to fight with the front desk to print it out. Oh, and now you have to talk to the front desk to let them know that "clc has a 24 hour reservation" meaning they cant kick you out the next day. Which sucks if you're working overnight because you come back to the hotel around 6am get about 5 hours of sleep until you get a phone call saying "gotta go" only to try to explain again about CLC's policy and then you gotta give them this phone number so you're awake for another 2 hours just arguing to try to get some sleep but eventually you gotta call the regional manager or whatever to find you a different place to stay. So there you are driving on 5 hours of sleep only to get to your hotel and finally lay in bed in order to check your emails. Oh, and the company credit card they give you? You have to call someone in order to use it. I don't know if they have anyone working in accounting , but you think if someone bought something non-work related that they could just take their card away or fire them, but nope.

      Its a Job...Not a career

      Pros

      Its a job with decent wages, you won't get rich, and you'll never move up. If your the kind of person who shows up and does their job not needing nonrecognition you won't do well here. This company the kiss butt people will move up and the workers go ignored. You get to see alot of the country. In general I'm happy with what I get, but feel that over 75% of our employees are treated like a number and nobody cares if they don't get a paycheck for weeks or months.

      Cons

      Hotels are bad, they would rather save $10 then put us in a nicer place. Constant travel. They switched us from regional travel to national travel with no pay increase. Also you will NEVER get a raise unless you take a promotion which is almost impossible to get. Auto allowance barely covers your oil changes and you will beat your car into the ground just to work a week. They constantly have payroll issues and will ignore it for weeks hoping you will forget about it. The only company I've worked at that the HR department actually works against you. The company would rather sub out work to a contractor from Texas than give local people work. LOTS of unpaid time traveling to jobs. Beam Team even stopped giving us a Thanksgiving bonus, as if it wasn't bad enough getting laid off every holiday week. This company has been getting worse by the year and they need to look back to their roots back when this was a good company a few years ago. You will spend all day at an airport traveling and you can't even get your per diem because "you weren't in a hotel" even though it may take 12 hours to travel home. We restructured in Jan 2013 and all the personal touches are gone. Now you deal with someone in Atlanta that has never met you to manage everything from scheduling to payroll and they slack on that most of the time. The further from Atlanta you are the worst you will be treated.

      Thank you for your feedback. The company pays for hotels, provides a per diem allowance for meals, and reimburses mileage at a rate that should cover at least double the cost of your gasoline. We actually expect employee's living expenses to be considerably less while traveling for the company but if this is not the case, I'd invite you to reach out to me anytime to discuss your situation and help us improve.
