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.

Vantaggi

The ESOP plan is 2nd to none in the industry, family/people centric culture.

Svantaggi

They do a lot of JVs where Sundt is the minority partner. So you on those projects you use all of the other contractor's systems.

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.
