Vantaggi
1) Heritage - It is great to be working for a company that has been around since 1890 and still is ranked as one of the best construction companies in the country. This company has survived and thrived through various economic recessions. 2) ESOP - It is like having free money that is, if you intend to stay at Sundt for a long time. One will definitely reap the rewards at retirement. 3) LEAN Culture - Sundt has gradually adopted a culture that values continuous improvement. 4) Sundt Foundation - it is a great opportunity to be able to give back to the communities where Sundt is present. It gives Sundt, aside from all the Employee Owners, its heart. 5) Has potential to be the great company it used to be -- fingers crossed.
Svantaggi
1) Management often overlooks talent and exceptional work ethic from within the company. Seasoned and experienced employees are let go only to have their positions filled again with new employees that require training and orientation, resulting in a lot of wasted resources. Unfortunately, this "waste" ultimately affects each Employee Owners' much valued ESOP. 2) Sundt has many policies, goals, mission and vision statements that are inspiring and truly admirable. However, it all just looks good on paper. The frustration starts to set in when these very same statements, goals, policies are not being applied to day-to-day operations of the company. 3) Sundt employs a mixture of races and gender. However, it is still very evident that racial and gender classifications still determine employee positions and vertical movement in the company. This has resulted in the loss of so many great employees who have fallen victim to the "system". 4) Open Door Policy. It depends on whose door it is you choose to walk through. 5) Nepotism. A lot of nepotism.
