Being a competitor of PCC I wouldn't say I'm sticking-up for them,
but... Having been a prime on that same Milwaukee job there may
be some insight your not aware of. TWC (Milw) has had a horrible
reputation of chasing off every prime contractors best subs and
some in-house folks, with such unethical business tactics! We left
at the begining of the year partly do to these reasons. Such as:
1) They drop or restructure pay whenever it comes time to start
paying out. (AKA country running).
2) When payment dropage/restructure is not available to them,
limiting your production is. Anyone remember Mequon, Burlington,
Pleasant Prarie, etc... ?
3) While all of us footage folks were gutting out easement in
milwaukee (city) TWC brought in a contractor to work for
pieces in Vernon (country runing).
These are just a few examples of TWC's hospitalities. In short I
cant blame PCC for turning MILW into a training facility. It would
only be a matter of time before TWC would run off anyone of
quality anyway! Perhaps Primes and Subs alike will wake-up and
realize TWC has no intentions of changing their micro mngmnt
tactics. Just ask Tech-wave! Your number may be next?

PCC in Milwaukee has screwed-up so bad that they have to start troubleshoting by 12:00 up and running bt 1:00. This is the prime that everyone is being warned about. Search the BAR and see for yourself the long list of unhappy contractors as compared to the one happy contractor. You be the judge. I was in management and got screwed. They owe me money. michael johnson and his buddy tod searles; BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY!!!!!
