Barnard-Construction-Company

Barnard is a mediocre place to work. 
The good: paychecks are always on time and time cards/pay os accurate
Also night shift differential is decent ($60/shift)
Bad: no paid holidays, no paid time off. Sick pay next to impossible to use. 
Health/dental insurance is worthless. 
Zero life/work balance. Schedule changes are announced literally a day before. Some operators have to keep switching between night and day shift once a month. 
Once you get stuck with a job, they will keep you on this job forever. Saturday work is announced on Friday.
When there is work, they expect you to be whenever they require, but if there is no work, they treat you like you are on call. 
Safety is a lip service. On one hand they are trying to promote safety, but they have you also work 6 nights in a row, with minimal breaks. 
They basically will work you, till  you burn out, and have you quit or fire you later. 
Needles to say, I quit after 10 months, and found another job. 

I would get to work before all employees with other safety coordinators and prepare for morning foremans meetings. Every Monday would have a Stand down meeting for all laborers and employees. I would drive to job sites throughout the day and walk the job sites. Depending on how many job sites we had going at a time we would split up. We would attend all safety meetings and do all of the JSA paperwork, site inspections, injury reports, excavation reports, hot work permits. I would have to sign off on anything they did or were doing on site. It was an enjoyable job getting to know the guys. The hardest part of the job was when we would work overnight for certain needing to be done. I learned so much from this job and the employees I worked with and hope to take my knowledge to my next company and teach them and keep learning. I just want to make a difference.

Working for this company was one of the greatest jobs if not the greatest job I had. All the way up from the owner Mr. Barnard down to my direct supervisor were stand up people all down the line. I was taught that you're more likely to be around your work family than you are your actual family and working for this company was one of the best work families I have had. I looked forward into going to work every day because I got to work alongside some of the coolest, intellectual people I have ever met and I got paid to do it. I look forward to a possible career with this company, but if not, it is one of the greatest opportunities I have ever had in my professional career.

Immediate supervisors have little influence over employees status. Get the pay you expect day one. Raises for labor, operators are practically non-existant. Pay varies greatly for similar equal positions. Get your salary set the day you start. That’s probably it for less than foremen positions.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people are all wonderful amazing people to work next to all day!!!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Very early mornings so that was a little stressful for me 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Beautiful and nice to be outside 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Long, but not to hard, I was off early

Worked here for a temporary job. Company is based out of Montana but travels where the work is. Excellent pay, but worked 6 days a week Monday-Saturday. Since it was temporary that worked for me, but not something I was interested in doing long term. Most people in the company have been there a long time (20+ years) and are well taken care of. If construction is a career you're interested in this is a good company to work for.

At first it was great and then everyone got into your business favoritism started really showing supervisors quit responding. Mechanics were lazy and Didn’t take care of the equipment. Forced into something that wasn’t in the job description and even then wasn’t compensated with a raise. All in all they play the it’s a great company game and then true colors come out 

Company is starting to go down hill on the management side. Has completely lost its family run vibe. They have been promoting the wrong people. Going after jobs that no one wants to go to chase the money. There are still some excellent project managers but overall you are likely to get drug through the mud with promises of big bonuses then when the company has there best year ever you get less than you did your first year. 

I mostly enjoyed working here .atmosphere was what it is ,work conditions very on location .i loved working with so many different people from all over the United States and different backgrounds  different ethnicities. you aren’t judged by your appearance nor your past.work is long and can be tiresome but well worth it at the end of the day .

Transporting Material is always fun when working with energetic people. The Managers often help us understand the operation & the purpose for the job site & it also pays very good. They will work with you if you have any problems or questions with anything. This is a great company to work for ♥️
