Very Expensive Health Plan - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Williams Pyro

Williams-Pyro offers excellent benefits, the people are great to work with, salaries are decent, and the work-life balance is perfect.

Typical of a family-run business, there exists favoritism and nepotism. Some employees are employed/promoted because they are related to or trusted by the owner, but they do not perform their jobs effectively and the whole company suffers as a result.

Fort Worth is a great city with affordable housing options. Great food nearby. You will appreciate every other job you've ever had.

Family run means no accountability at the top and critical individual(s) are not necessarily there due to ability. Invasive and constant snooping - roving hall monitors, recorded phone calls, computer screen captures and key logging, etc. Random hiring practices (no job descriptions, staff recommendations ignored) and legendary turnover rate among professionals. Poor relationships with nearby universities and research organizations. Senior management has limited background to develop technical products or judge the value of technical employees. Frequent changes of direction and no chance for established procedures to work. Absolutely no chance for employees to address perceived performance issues - professionals are fired for cause at first infraction or when convenient. You will *never* feel secure at your job once you realize this. The company brags that "nobody has every been laid-off from Williams Pyro". That's perfectly true - employees are always either forced to quit or fired for cause. This makes collection of unemployment benefits 'challenging'.
