Great Benefits, Culture is Overstated

Construction

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Being a corporate company means having access to national resources. It is great that there are always experts to contact within the organization. There are some amazing people working here.

Cons

Culture is disappearing to the corporate structure they are implementing. Folks who have been working there for a while get comfortable and push their work on to others. This creates a lot of blaming of newer employees when things go wrong. Also bending over backwards for owners requests causes unneeded extra work and speaks to the decrease in profits of the past years.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! The opportunity to work on challenging and exciting projects while being supported by rewards and benefits and great teammates is what we want for all of our teammates. We do know that sometimes building those challenging projects calls for long hours, which is why we offer industry-leading PTO and wellness benefits, and truly encourage our teammates to use them.

Lack of Leadership

Estimator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible schedule and independent environment.

Cons

The senior estimators lacks of estimating knowledge and leadership, often trying to appease an unreasonable owner by demanding unreasonable work from the estimators. Despite promoting an inclusive work environment, there exists a closely bonded group within the team that operates with impunity, avoiding any repercussions for their mistakes, which are instead blamed on the estimators.
