Wade Trim reviews

Cons: Constantly unstable/unreliable leadership, several "leaders" with little to no leadership or decision-making skill, and bizarre and inappropriate role assignments in all practices at all levels, nationwide. Permanent history of HQ leaders handling TX office/staff and its major clients inadequately (at times negligently). Expectations are unrealistic because HQ is ignorant and uninterested, except with how much money TX can provide to other offices in other states. All of this has gotten unimaginably worse with the new Municipal Services lead, as of Oct 2021. TX staff input and advice is not valued, let alone implemented. "Value of our People" (training, mentoring, staff development, financial reward, communication, care or concern) is applied HIGHLY selectively. Mental health/neurodiversity is given lip service only. Avoid Municipal Services and IT departments, due to confirmed toxic people in uppermost leadership roles. Business Development, Marketing, Water Resources, Industrial/Commercial/Energy, and HR leaders and CEO are questionable (at best, make poor business decisions and/or handle staff issues poorly).

There is little organization, expertise, or structure for onboarding, training, quality feedback, at least for the new department. They give production work to the new leadership team, along with assigning numerous unqualified new hire direct reports who have no training, nor access to the required sites, tools and apps. They just get as much work from disgruntled disorganized struggling providers and promise commitments that cannot be fulfilled. You get to try and teach many new people wire line and underground cable engineering who are immediately billing against the client! Bad business model. A good place if you're looking for receptionist work, maybe. When their failure results in laying off the entire new department, they will set up a meeting with people you've never met to do the deed, and ignore you. Forget all the fake 'human' relationships they faked for the last 6 months. Most the people I worked with didn't have families so it fits. Heartless like the movie where Clooney fires people for a living. I witnessed this one at a time until it hit me. They pretended everything was fine even when asked. Very cowardly.
