Vantaggi
Well known and is a leading contractor in the Southwest. Is very interested in staying on the leading edge of technology and construction processes. Sundt has good internal training programs. I took over 15 classes (2 to 8 hours each) ranging from public speaking to customer relations to legal employment rules and sexual harassment guidelines during my first 6 months. This continued with ongoing training beyond that. The company also gives $500 to $1000 bonuses for getting various certifications. The company is employee owned so there is profit sharing--but you have to have been there for a few years for this to make much difference.
Svantaggi
Too many employees have been there too long and there is a group think mentality. They are trying to get the right people on the bus--but it appears the right people are just too much like those already there. A little bit of nepotism also. The current management, although having been there a long time, does not seem to be very cognizant of the overall business cycle and may be blind-sided by the economic downturn. This may affect the stability of employment there if they are forced to lay-off because of over-optimism. The benefits are also set up to overly benefit those that have been there a long time.
