ADI Construction

Typically you are expected to arrive at the crack of dawn and start calling sub-contractors before they arrive at work to get a jump-start on the harassing phone calls made daily. You are also expected to stay until dusk generating new leads. I learned a lot about the Construction business and began to learn how to read blueprints. The hardest part of the job was showing up everyday to dirty looks, people not speaking to you but at you, not being included in office events when everyone around you is being asked to attend,  and harassing people and being spoken to rudely often if not daily because of it. The most enjoyable part of the job was the free food, pet day and the free gifts given at holidays.

Come in 7:00 am. turn on computer, print out project bid board, update Prolog from email responses, input any late bids, print daily bid list log, call every sub for every trade. Later in the day call more subcontractors to bid on projects. I learned how to read drawings and the ins and outs of the estimating department for a small general contractor. Management was not bad but some aspect could have done a lot better to maintain it. The hardest part of being and Estimating Admin was making sure subcontractors bid on projects when they say they are going to bid. The most enjoyable aspect of my job was working with great hard working Peers who just as hungry to get the job done.

ADI offers a standard office environment. 8 hour work days are typical but the work load fluctuates and can be heavy depending on the season. Expect to work much longer days. What you learn at ADI is self taught, they lack training and experienced management. 
You will experience a lot of negative corporate work culture: office gossip, poor internal communication, micromanagement, hyper-competition, bad habits, strictly focused on profit, low office engagement and lack of empathy, and lack of office discipline - problems are not addressed and rules are not adhered to. There really are no core values for this company which lets the employees run amuck.
A few perks: Sometimes you can step outside and/or grab a bite to eat.

Long hours for low pay, unless you're family or married into the family. Extreme favoritism, harassment rampant, constantly in fear of being fired. The key time to fire someone is Friday's around 3:00.... I would get nervous every single week when that time came. No advancement unless you are related. Very cliquey and so many serious issues overlooked. This company cares about PROFIT. High turnover rate (again, unless you're related)- this says a lot about a company.

ADI construction has been a great experience and company to work for. Coworkers are all friendly and make it easy and fast for you to get comfortable in your position. ADI makes sure to allow some play with your workday wether it’s through events or just having amenities such as the gym or game room. I have enjoyed my time working for ADI as well as along side the team. 

Upper management and HR are awesome at this company. They really take care of their people. I worked for them 3 years as a traveling super and it was for the most part a good experience. Beware the PM's! A couple of them could use some lessons in manners. The traveling arm was well organized. Healthcare is great as well as the 401K and the vacation time after 3 years.

First off very toxic work environment. This company is a joke. Fridays are dog friendly day except most of the times they are there everyday. So it's hard to do work when you have dogs barking and coming up to you, your whole shift. Job was frustrating having to call same contractors over and being yelled at for harrassing them. I do not recommend working here.

Great work environment. They care about their employees with 6% contribution to your 401k, amazing benefits, and Friday lunches (as well as the free gym and game room at the office).  

Flexible hours. Work hard, get your job done, and it’s smooth sailing. I have a great work life balance now with this company!

I genuinely think that the family that owns the business are good people. As for the job itself, nothing is ever good enough. Be prepared to be micromanaged and constantly scrutinized for not making miracles happen. They burn bridges with subcontractors and then expect the estimating team to have lots of bids to work with on every job. 

Everyday at ADI you are grinding away at your daily tasks. However, each Friday everyone gathers in the back for a free cookout or takeout food. People play games, talk amongst themselves and are able to wind down after a productive week. 
Everyone here cares about each other, and it's one big family to work for.
