Upper management  always passes the buck. from there lack of listen skills   and knowledge  . Puts all the faults on the foreman and the workers. even thou you can show proof  of where it lies, . they do not want  your knowledge at all. You  can offer your other trade skills to help out and they don't use it. They will tell you one thing in  the beginning of a sentence  and contra dictate it at the end of it. They will lie to the contractor  and promise  stuff that they can't deliver . They want you to do there job and yours at the same time. you shouldn't have to check on upper managements work.  and when it comes to layoffs  you get told at 230 to bring your tools to the office and let go at 3 pm  . no warning .  when i started with the company it was good.  but after a short time it went bad. they try to use labor tracking  but don't do it the correctly  so your numbers are bad . they pick and choose what rules to follow .  Upper will lie or omit.    They will never back you up  period  . They take on jobs and under staff them .  until the other jobs slow or finish  then over whelm  yours . causing layoffs .  bad people skills  too

I took this job with expectations of it being a great company and it was stressed in the interview it was a team I was going to work with and everyone helped everyone else. This was not the case. It is a dog eat dog world I walked into. It was an extremely toxic place to work. There was little to no training in the beginning and then I was given more work than I could manage. I made some mistakes not knowing any better and was reprimanded for it. I took it like a champ and work was taken from me. I did good until I again was given more work than I could handle. Everyone talks about each other very negatively behind their back but smile to their faces. You have no clue they are out to get you until its too late. It is a place of favoritism and you never feel like you fit in. What is okay for one person is not okay for another to do. Though it pays well and the bonuses are nice, its not a very good place to work. 

If you don't like driving this is not the job for you they promise you Disney world they promise you the best job in the world they're going to be sending you to places putting miles on your car putting gas in your car tons of miles they're going to send you to Sarasota they're going to send you to all these places wherever they want to send you where everything they need you oh well one day they're going to fire you they use all the new people to finish the job and then get rid of them this is a lot of miles on your car like 600 miles during the week going to Sarasota even though they have jobs in Tampa is whatever friends they think is benefit for the company and to get a raise after your 90 is never going to happen you going to be begging them and being after them and you never qualify for it so take my advice look for something better

                                                          ****SIX PLUS FIGURES**** 


A typical day is to drive at least an hour to work and from  paying for your own has. Environment is that of construction therefore very hot with long days. You always know starting time but never quiting time. Due to the low salary employee turn around is never ending. Therefore  you never know who you will be working with or how qualified they are. Management does not help you get your certifications for pay advancement. Management is very bias on the individuals they listen too and advance. The best part of the job is working a skilled trade. 

Not an ideal company to work for. Worked in the HR department, all managers did in the department was fight with each other. And if the HR department can not keep it together you know that the culture is bad. They created an environment of tension and always questioning your work, as to make sure there was this level of I'm the boss and you are not. No room for advancement at all, just a dead end job. If you are a professional do not even bother with this company, you will loose a few brain cells working there. They want someone they can boss around and tell them what to do, not someone with experience and an opinion.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The pay their incentive program fairly 
They 
Are a pretty well managed company.

No leads 
All business is self driven

It’s reasonable could be more progressive 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
7:30 am to 3.30 pm 
View quoting opportunities in the field to develop a solution return to an office environment draft a quote send it and hopefully sell the job.  2-3 day period to develop the solution.

Strong team members that really know their job and industry.

This is a great place to grow as an individual.

Long term financial security as an ESOP company.

Compensation pay is in line with the volume of production you are held responsible for.

With the helping mentality culture of the whole team, B&I has a very healthy work environment and, in turn, allows and fosters growth of the company and its market share. 

For me it is the best place I have ever worked.

This is a construction company. Every one of them has good and bad managers, good and bad employees. Fortunately, most of the people here are great. The benefits (especially for SWFL) are pretty impressive. The ESOP stock ownership is a HUGE plus. You'll receive a lot of training, mostly safety based. Work hard, work smart and it's not hard to move up the ladder. In my department I always felt the Dept. Head had my back.
