Pros

Good paycheck every week, guys will take your overtime, company van, donuts at service meetings sometimes

Cons

I have worked for 2 different elevator companies for almost 30 years and the TKE branch in Vegas is a nightmare. Personally, I had to get out of there and a lot of the talent has fled and moved on since the current branch manager took over a few years ago. My past branch managers were pure heaven compared to the evil mini me that runs this branch. The field employees and even the managers were continually threatened with their jobs, humiliated in front of other employees in meetings and favoritism went to the weakest and meekest. Part of this favoritism was based on the branch manager's sharing of certain personal habits with particular employees. This branch was run like a prison cell with the warden and his favorite inmates running the show. Company policies and safety policies were violated all the time and some pretty serious incidents were covered up. I don't even know if TKE corporate knew what was going on and they might not care because this branch made money for them. Some things are never meant to be understood I guess but don't bring yourself or your family to work here at this branch.

Pros

TK Elevator has a recognizable brand and offers exposure to a large, complex organization. There are opportunities to work with talented individuals and gain experience supporting a broad range of operations. Compensation and benefits are competitive, and the company has the resources to drive meaningful initiatives.

Cons

My experience was that the work environment was highly dependent on individual leadership styles. Communication and expectations were not always consistent, and there was limited emphasis on coaching, employee development, and constructive feedback. As a result, the environment could at times feel reactive rather than collaborative. Work-life balance and employee well-being appeared to vary considerably across teams. Employees who value transparency, empowerment, and a supportive leadership culture should take time during the interview process to understand the management philosophy of their prospective team, as experiences may differ significantly depending on reporting structure.
