Report
Worked for them multiple times, higher up doesn't have the welfare of employees in mind for one. The foremen/supervisors and safety coordinators are all AWESOME people and very supportive! Biggest reason I'm writing this review is because they called me and asked that I go to Panama City and help them with a small job, I agreed, was there for 2 days, drove my own vehicle, paid for my own food and expenses minus the hotel (surprisingly it was covered) here we are 4 weeks later and guess what, I HAVE NOT BEEN PAID! Reached out multiple times to the foreman I reported to but I can't get any contact from HR or Payroll about paying me the owed wages! IN YOUR BEST INTEREST TO JUST REFUSE ANY POSITION THEY OFFER YOU!
