Working at Progressive Power Group in Garden Grove, CA: 3 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Garden Grove, CA Area

"PPG is a racist company. Non whites, will never make field managers. There is a black tax, and a brown tax. The only way up is to be a buddy of the owners or managers. All field installers are disallowed from using the restroom in the office. You are to use the porter-potties outside the warehouse's gate. If a job get delayed for ANY reasons, it is your fault. The PPG management is always right and without fault. There will be a on going change of policies, none of which will benefit the workflow or improve the work/ safety conditions. You, the installer, especially the rookies will always be push to do the brunt of the job.Your foreman will not have any leverage to get talk on your behalf, or promote your interest. Of course, unless he is a buddy with management.Learn English well, any lingual deficiencies will prompt management to comment.The only time you will be treated with semi-humane respect is when you give your 2 weeks notice.Be prepared to spend money on all consumables; drill bits, saw blades, crayons, electrical tapes, zip ties, and etc. If you asks for those at PPG, please be prepared to wait a while.Good Luck!"

This place is a revolving door, people come and go easily."

Management in denial when recommending input or feedback."
