Engineering Technician Co-op
|
|
Decent professional experience. Fills the requirement for college students
|
Where do I begin...
Housing is a joke. When I lived there in 2017 they had bought a house and just tried to stuff as many people in it as they possibly could. They constructed “door walls” as spacers between rooms. The hours are feast or famine. You either work like a slave or don’t work at all. By the end of the first month I was one of the only people left in my Co-op group. The hours and the work is some of the hardest I’d ever done. Working nights, driving up to 3 hours to job sites, walking 6-8 miles a day/night with a 50 pound gauge and always working weekends. The job doesn’t require a college degree at all and some of the people there are terrible to work with. Jim smith acts like he reinvented the wheel by paying interns and giving them housing. This may have been the case 20 years ago but now you’d be hard pressed to find and engineering internship that doesn’t. I went on 3 internships after this co-op all of which paid well and provided nice housing options.
Advance Testings business model is to reel in naive college students that are desperate for professional experience and work them to the bone or wait till the quit. Management knows they can pay them less since there interns so they try and make most of their work force interns. At least 80% of the people that worked there were interns or recent college graduates. A lot of turnover to say the least.
All in all it was a miserable experience and it actually affected my health. Without disclosing to much personal information I had to have surgery which on my back due to the work environment which lead me to be able to leave early.

Great Place to Grow Within the Organization!
|
|
They have a robust training program
The management staff has a great mix of education, previous work experience, and are great mentors
The internship program is a great way for students to get involved in the construction and engineering fields. The company provides housing for out of town students which is a huge benefit on top of having a paid internship
The jobs they are involved in provide a great opportunity to work with engineers, construction management firms, contractors, architects, and agencies
|
None that I can think of but that depends on your personality. If you're not into working on construction projects it probably isn't for you

I thoroughly enjoy working at Advance Testing. Although my job is part time, I don't mind working additional hours because the atmosphere is so pleasant. Co-workers are supportive and always ready to help.

I can't think of anything negative about working here.

Advance Testing Company is a great place to work.
There are many opportunities for advancement within the company and everyone is more than willing to help each other out at any time!
Upper management makes it easy to voice opinions and they care about employees concerns and well being.
There are many fun incentives and company sponsored family fun activities, which are great for getting to know coworkers outside of work!
Jimmy Smith genuinely cares about his employees and does a great job of showing it!

No cons to report at this time.

Rewarding Work with Opportunity for Advancement
|
|
There is loyalty and camaraderie among staff thanks to company provided extracurricular activities (Yankee tickets, picnics, parties, etc...)
Upper management is understanding to personal needs.
Large enough company for advancement opportunities.
Small enough company for projects to have a direct impact on clients and fellow colleagues, which makes project completion all the more rewarding to see your work in action.
|
Nothing, if I've ever had an issue, upper-management is willing to listen at a moment's notice and find a resolution.
