Vantaggi
- Above average benefits package.
- Met some of the best, most genuine people here who are truly passionate about the work they do. I walked away with many lifelong friends and colleagues.
Svantaggi
- Many managers and supervisors are supportive and genuinely care about their teams. However, the experience can vary DRAMATICALLY depending on who you report to. If you end up under poor leadership, there will be little to no protection or support. There are no standardized, formal performance evaluations or documentation, which means employees can be terminated or disciplined seemingly without cause. While this may be standard practice in right-to-work states, it feels inconsistent with the company’s messaging about prioritizing employee well-being.
- They claim to be ahead of the industry in supporting women in construction, but I know of several extremely talented women who have left the organization or were pushed out after negative experiences with leadership and mistreatment.
- The company previously invested heavily in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives, but many of those efforts were majorly scaled back after the (U.S. government) administration change, including the removal of DEI messaging from the website. It feels like DEI was only important to the company when it benefitted business, which was quite hurtful to many employees of diverse backgrounds.
- The craft workforce is often described as the backbone of the company (which is 100% true), and many leaders do demonstrate genuine respect for field teams. However, execs and senior leaders often speak about craftspeople primarily in terms of numbers and productivity rather than as people. This also happens with "lower level" office employees too. It can be quite dehumanizing, as these are typically the employees who are actually building and creating tangible products.
