1. Management will LIE and tell you whatever they you want to hear to get you to jump ship at your current job to get you to join them. Then as time goes on the true colors of EPS start to emerge.
2. The average time a person stays at EPS is roughly 5 years and most of those people are only their fresh out of school and know nothing. Once they have sufficient experience they leave mostly because of management.
3. There is practically ZERO help if you are unsure of how to perform a task or are in need of help because something doesn't work and when that times come...YOU the employee will be blamed for everything that transpired even if you called your entire department for help, called a manufacturer and received little help.
4. The people who own EPS, the REED family, are not good people to work with. Unless you are buddy-buddy with them, don't expect much respect.
5. Feedback and communication from management at EPS is atrocious. Asking your manager on what you can do to improve your job goes nowhere. At the end of the year you will be told of numerous negative things you did despite be told the opposite throughout the entire year up until your evaluation
6. EPS only good at testing transformers, circuit breakers and other electrical apparatus, nothing else... I wouldn't trust their relay department to properly test an overcurrent relay or engineer a door into a substation control house. Probably the main reason to this is the Reeds and other management treat the employees as expendable assets that can be replaced. As a result any experienced people 1/3 of a brain leave ASAP.
7. Most of the POSITIVE reviews on the internet for EPS are all corporate created because of the overwhelmingly negative reviews the company has. I know this, because several disgruntled EPS managers told me before they left for other companies. So DO NOT believe what most of the positive reviews say. More than likely most are all EPS corporate/management propaganda.
