Otis Excavating

Otis Excavating is a small but aggressively growing earthworks company.  I did not find the morale to be low, actually was the total opposite. The workers are extremely happy with the work and the entire Otis organization. There are some growing pains, however, that is to be expected with any company that is expanding. The safety guy "M.O" is very inexperienced, however, one of the foreman indicated they hired a new safety manager that has improved the safety program at the organization which was drastically needed. All in all, I had a very good experience working for Otis and would go back there in a minute. The grass maybe longer, but it's not greener that is for sure.

Company will send people out with trucks you must dodge the scale with, damaged brakes, worn chains, no lights and if they do not go...you are laid off.
     You work 7 days a week and no overtime. You wash your own truck daily if needed on your own time, buy your own cab cleaning supplies. There is never a spare truck if yours is down. 
     Incompetent home schooled mechanics and good old boys to work on machines or trucks, drive at your own risk.

I don’t recommend working with Otis if you plan on making a career out of it. Some of the employees are cool but others are not. The foremen don’t tell you what the plan is and what they want you to do every day. Your stuck guessing and the fourman looks at you like your the dumb one. Completely unorganized. I have a lot more things to say that are not good but I will leave it at that. a lot of the employees are on drugs most of the time

I have worked at Otis for a few years.    I have been in the industry for a long time and I have never been happier with a employer.   From the Christmas and staff parties, to the above average rate of pay.  They have kept myself and most of the employees working YEAR ROUND.  They are doing most things really well.
Happy to get up every morning and go to work.

Overall, my experience with Otis wasn't great. The work environment is pretty negative, and most of the management isn't very good. The shop organization is very bad and employees don't seem to care about up keeping the facility very well. Be prepared to be falsely accused of things by others as well. It does pay well but don't expect any form of bonuses.

safety is done only when managers need more paperwork to satisfy them or new client.
foreman are rude & ignorant!

equipment is run down\ old\ unsafe/ & wore out! not enough mechanics & poorly trained if any!!

Not loyal to staff at all!!!!

It's kind of a shame. Lots of good people, some great management, and from what I learned, even a couple decent owners. Unfortunately they have chosen the wrong "Face" for the company, and allowed that person to run the business with his Napoleon complex, rather than using the man with experience to make the decisions. And keep an eye on your paystubs!! ;)

Management was good for the most part and you get the ones who were disgruntled. Depending on what machines you operate the workload could be heavy. The days were repetitive. Machines were okay. The ones that needed repair sometimes would take awhile to get repaired unless you did your due diligence and pressured to get it fixed. Pay was fair. 

Management gets involved in day to day operations and interacts with employees.  Safety conscious. Lots of work available. Some options to work year round. Supervisors are knowledgeable, friendly and easy to contact. Pay is fair. Overtime is usually available. Workers are easy to get along with

the company is a good company but was very slow to fix things on trucks and would complain a lot when it waS  brought up to them.never keep the promises made to employees.
