What Our Team Has to Say

I'm incredibly grateful for all of Interstates' team members. They show up for each other. They do this during the high points and the low points. This is what makes working here so special. Thank you Interstates' team for always showing what it means to live out Interstates' values!

Danielle Crough, VP of People & Culture

My favorite part about Interstates has got to be the culture. I think the people here just make it exceptional. A lot of companies speak about culture, but I think Interstates is a company who actually lives it.

Kyle Feller, Regional Branch Manager

While it's a work environment that I've never been around before, it has such a family feel to it. It's a big company but it has a small town feel to it where everyone knows everybody. They're not going to look down on you for asking questions, so for apprentices and new electricians coming into this, I think it's a perfect place to work.

Alonso Holguin, Electrical Apprentice to Foreman

Interstates has a great culture where you as an individual matter. They invest in the development of people and teams. With the right attitude and work ethic, you can achieve your dreams.
