Employee Testimonials
If you give it all you have, it can be a financially, and physically, rewarding summer job. I loved working for TCP and I would recommend sticking it out, and seeing the gain.

You can make a lot of money. The harder you work the more budgets you will cut and the more money you will make…As long as you do your job well and stay on budget, the working environment is very relaxed and fun.

I know that TCP takes a lot of time hiring the right people for the job and it shows in the employees that comprise the business…TCP was a great work opportunity for the summer. They allowed me to meet great people, feel supported in my work place, and allowed me to make money that I needed for school.

Working for this company has been a very good experience. I had worked one painting season prior to working for TCP, and there is no comparison to what company is more enjoyable to work for.
- Ben G. Portland State University.
I worked really quickly and efficiently because I wanted to make as much money as possible…The work was tough, but it affords me the ability to do what I choose while on campus.

All in all, that kind of dedication to workers is hard to find even among the best companies…They [TCP] left me with the impression that it was a personal goal of all the management to meet and get to know every employee that worked for them.

My summer work experience with TCP was excellent! All of my interactions with TCP preparing for and during the summer were informative and to the point, a testament to their experience in the painting industry. They promised excellent pay in return for lots of hard work. The hours were long and the expectations were high but TCP was never unreasonable with their demands and everything that they do from painting techniques to payroll has a purpose. In my experience the work environment was friendly and supportive, I always felt like TCP was there to help with any problem that might come up. I had the opportunity to work and gain experience working within a large professional company, which will prove invaluable in the future. Painting six days a week for 10 hours a day sounds like a lot, and in many ways it is. However, at the end of the day you feel good about doing a full day of work and the paycheck makes your devotion worth it. TCP values you and the work you do. For example, I started last summer as a novice painter but through my hard work and commitment to the TCP business method I was quickly promoted to the position of foreman. The best testament to TCP and the summer work experience is my decision to continue my employment with TCP this upcoming summer.

Last year I worked for TCP and had a great experience. This company has taught me a lot about hard work and dedication. The one thing that I really appreciate about this company is the quality of people that they hire. They make sure that each person is very professional, courteous, and responsible. We also made sure to have a good time while working. I always made an effort to keep a positive attitude no matter how hard the work got. The workers around me did the same. Everyone at this company takes pride in the work and enjoys what they do. I would highly recommend this job to anyone that is looking for a fulfilling and rewarding job. Also, the money isn’t too bad either.
