Aristeo Construction

The best part of this job was the atmosphere and most of the people. While the company is not very small, it feels like a family. Management is extremely transparent in their goals and operations and an employee always knows where they stand. Compensation was decent, especially for the area. Atmosphere was extremely friendly, fun, and cooperative. 

The least enjoyable/hardest part was some of the "old-timers," who arguably should be on their way out, but are too stubborn to leave. Their methods and (lack of) organizational skills made some tasks far more complicated and time-consuming than they should have been. 

Overall, though, working for this company was truly a wonderful experience. It was one of the best jobs I have ever had.

This is still a relatively small company but I've never seen such mismanagement from HR to payroll to everyday work. The red flags are everywhere from the field engineer who has never been in the field on the job over a year, to the worker who hasn't moved up in eight years on the job. The lack of training or vision for their employees leads to a culture where they would rather replace an employee than show them the ropes and let them grow as an individual.  Too many family ties within the company restrict upward movement for those who truly deserve it. I would not recommend this company for an entry level worker. Their lack of commitment to their employees will sink your career before it ever gets started.

I was hired as an apprentice mechanic assistant directly from high school, thanks to my school counselor.

At Aristeo, I unloaded vehicle parts and accessories to be stocked.  My day also consisted of assisting the mechanics in retrieving items they needed to repair the vehicle including actual help in repairs.

I was assigned to keep our work areas cleaned and maintained at all times.

As my first  time work experience, I learned that all work is not always cut and dry.  Sometimes adjustments to assignments, work schedules, and the actual work performed must be made to be productive.

There wasn't really a hard part of the job other than getting greasy and dirty but I was disappointed that I was laid off due to slow company business at the time.

Employed as a QC/ Field Engineer, I was responsible to maintain compliance of owner specifications during wind turbine design/ build phases. I performed job specific tests/ inspections to assist in the civil/ structural aspects of wind turbine and access road construction. I was also involved in hydraulic/ torque tool calibration for erecting turbines. Although Aristeo no longer takes part in the construction of wind turbines, they are a reputable employer who would appeal to aspiring traveling engineers/ project managers who would enjoy working in their currently participating fields.

Aristeo is lesser known on national level but one of the top companies to work for. Consistently on Crain's "Best & Brightest Co.'s to Work For" locally and nationally. Financially sound company that pays competitive wages, best benefits in the business (FREE Healthcare, Dental, & Vision premiums+ add $2k to your HSA annually), more PTO than most can use but will let you roll 3 days over to next year, and as important as any of the previous--excellent people & excellent management that cares about their people. If your willing to travel , you'll like make more money than you could ever make anywhere else.

Learned quite a bit working there as management is very supportive and helpful. Co-workers are hard-working. Most difficult part of the job was trying to determine how certain tasks were done as training was quite informal. The most enjoyable part of the job was not having a micro-managed mentality and therefore allowed for some freedoms.

Being a security guard/officer I would work 12 hour shifts because we would have to have 24 hour coverage. Typical day at work would be when I first got there I would do all my paper work then I would go patrol 133 wind turbine sites. By doing this I was basically the law, and could enforce anything on any suspects. The hardest part was knowing that sometimes you may have to decide something based on your own life, and the most enjoyable part was being able to travel throughout the county.

A typical day in the office is fast pace with a lot of fun collaboration. I have learned a lot with this company. It's allowed me to get my hands on a lot of different technologies. Your are tasked with a variety of issues and technologies. It never gets boring but sometimes a little overwhelming. The staff I work with all get a long joke a lot and work hard.

well i was on the computer most of the day. I learned alot about payroll and a few computer progams. the mangement were ok things could have been ran a bit smoother. the co workers were great i love all my guys!!!! the hardest paert was payroll the way they did was old school. there could have been a much easier way to do things. the most enjoyable was being part of somthing so big!
