      Pros

      If you want to pour your life into your job, this company has that culture. Everyone works over time and on holidays. The company sets up weekly and monthly events that cultivates the family feeling to continue to keep employees engaged.

      Cons

      There is a poor work-life balance among employees. Many employees work late or from home on the weekends or over the holidays. While it is possible to set personal boundaries and define your own work-life balance, there is a tension and a silent expectation to work overtime. I was hired on to what was in reality a temporary job that was supposed to transition into a job with a completely different skill set. However, the position was listed as full time. Furthermore, when I was let go from the company I was given zero warning. This company does this frequently. The job listing will not match everything you will be required to learn and do if you are working corporate. Your scope of work will exceed a 40 hour work wee and it will exceed the scope of work listed in the job posting.

      Thank you for your review. We are sorry if your experience was a negative one. We try our best to evenly spread the long hours sometimes required to finish our urgent projects. If an employee ends up having to stay late to finish up work, they are always fairly compensated and that effort and willingness is never overlooked by our managers. Those who are willing to put in the time will see the results of their hard labor. With that said, if you feel that you are being treated unfairly, we encourage you to talk that over with your manager or if you feel more comfortable speaking with an outside source, we encourage you to reach out to our HR team. We are always open to feedback for improving. Thank you for your review!

      Horrible Company To Work For!

      Pros

      They give you a very nice truck.

      Cons

      They treat employees like a garbage! For example: my first week on the job I heard manager after manager cuss out subordinates because they did not want to work in the rain when it was 20 degrees outside. I can't say I blamed them for not wanting to do that. It is ridiculous! The managers and foreman cared more about their numbers than their employees.

      Our top priority is to treat every employee, in all positions, with the upmost respect. If there is ever offensive language being used towards our employees, we ask for that it be reported to our HR department. We care about our employees and the safety training they are given. Our managers are required to pay close attention to ensure our safety requirements are met.

      Pros

      I truly found a home with this company. The management team sticks to is word and prompts internally when earned. Full benefits, 10 days vacation, paid holidays, new climbing gear, new trucks, very progressive. I have worked for many smaller companies and often pay was an issue as well as having to bunk up 2 per room while on the road. Not with Velex. I get paid every week and $100 a day for per diem. Management treats me well and have advanced from a tech II to A Tech III in the year that I have been with the company. The safety department is very knowledgeable and has answered any questions that I have sent their way even after my initial training.

      Cons

      If you're looking for a free ride and are a drug addict do not apply. This company will let you go quickly if you're just looking for a paycheck. I am very thankful for this as with other companies it seemed that I was the only one willing to put in an honest day's worth of work and felt that my life was constantly being threatened by drug attics that were spaced out of their minds.
