Vantaggi
Anyone who has worked for EPS and is honest about J their experience typically has nothing good to say about this company.....and neither do I. EPS pays more than most companies if you have experience.
Svantaggi
All the positive comments on Glassdoor for EPS are generated by EPS management and human resource administrators. I was told this by the former manager of the Philadelphia office and the office in Virginia. No former tech that has worked for EPS has anything positive to say. Except that leaving the company was their best decision. EPS pays more than most companies if you have experience because the companies managers treat the employees like an expendable asset. EPS has a a very high attrition rate and the only way to keep people there for any length of time is by a typically higher pay rate. EPS is owned by the Reed family which employee family friends as management that aren't qualified for the job. Put former apparatus testers in charge of Protection and Control departments and they are of no help. If a P&C tech is needs assistance and unable to do the work, management blames the the tech. This happens even if the tech notifies management of issues. EPS encourages inner company rivalries, often causing inner company fights between offices. Equipment isn't shared, man power refused, etc. EPS will assign unqualified people to projects in hopes of getting someone to essentially stick to the job. If this fails, the employee is fired. Nothing is ever managements fault since they all suck up to the Reeds are essentially friends. I was told once by my mangers in St.louis that their goal is to create a company where people push buttons and pay techs $20 an hour...so they can have a greater manpower pool. They will no longer need to worry about losing people. EPS has poor training, one training session for ProTest from EPS is supposed to be equivalent to years of experience. You will automatically be considered an expert no it all, despite the fact you are not. Every employee who wasn't kissing the Reeds behinds encouraged me to leave the company ASAP and I did.
