Pros

Honestly can't think of one happy memory after over a year with the company.

Cons

The CEO Michael is the worst boss you could ask for. He will preach that he doesn't want burnout amoungst his employees, but then says it will "hinder your growth" if you take a week off that you are owed. The healthcare is horrible and it's $500 per month. Salary is low for NYC. Zero culture - there isn't even a break room to sit down and eat lunch. I've seen him fire people on the spot and not pay out money they are owed. The workload is unbearable in most positions because the turnover is so high, they constantly don't have enough staff. Michael will say anything to get you in the door, but i assure you you will be better if you accept elsewhere. Most people in the office are looking for a way out, don't be one of them.

This review contains a number of blatantly false statements: • There has never been an employee whose salary was withheld. • Our current healthcare program includes a substantial and generous cooperative payment by management towards the employee’s healthcare and we offer a menu of options to choose from including medical, dental & vision within the healthcare program. • Our 401k program provides a matching contribution by management at the highest allowed by law • Employees are encouraged to take lunch and there are 3 large conference rooms at their disposal for quiet enjoyment of their meals. Spectra often provides lunch. • Our salaries are the highest in our industry and substantially higher than Glassdoor’s comparative salary report. • No employee has ever been refused personal time off. In fact, employees are encouraged to stay healthy and happy. All employees accrue personal time off from day one of their employment. This is the first time in 50 years anyone has ever claimed this. No Employee has ever been "fired on the spot" This is a Horrible accusation and blatantly untrue • Growth opportunities are available to all employees who choose to enhance their position and income. We encourage people to avail themselves of this opportunity. • Management maintains a very personal open-door policy for all employees to discuss concerns about policy or their personal needs. • “Shady”? Spectra has the most brilliant and dedicated employees in our industry, I can’t image they’d work here if there was anything “shady” going on.

Medical benefits, but no PTO unless worked there for a whole year good people end of the year parties

Cons

Inflexible Hourly employees severely undervalued and taken advantage of Management is completely inept Poor communication across departments Project management so bad - every deadline is missed on every project Culture of blame so pervasive, upper management willing to even throw their own teams under the bus to cover their a** Owner ignores COVID - willing to sacrifice his employees to appease the client, despite not knowing the on-the-ground situation for Spectra projects Unwilling to invest in their employees or decent systems for employees to do their job effectively Old school in the worst way - will send employees to job sites just to "appease" client with wasted hours doing nothing on site because management told them to Schedules made late every day, little notice when asked to be on a job site, sent to job sites and asked to "deal" with the situation with zero information
