Bohler

Leadership is insecure and threatened by any attempt of those lower down the totem pole to step up and receive any recognition at all, even a "thank you," for their work. No training. Unclear instructions. They tell you to ask questions, then complain when you do. No matter how many times you say that you are open to constructive criticism, it will only be delivered in long, threatening, periodic lists of everything you're doing wrong with no clear expectation provided as to how to improve those things. The ideal employee here in the eyes of leadership is a fresh-out-of-college kid who will shut up and work like a cog in a machine with no expectations of acknowledgement whatsoever, never questioning anything. They talk about career opportunities, professional development, and having the opportunity to grow, but no real plan on advancement exists. Unemployment is better than the soul-crushing experience of feeling completely disposable from 9-5 every day. The culture is not diverse what so ever. Management is extremely inappropriate.

Bohler has a very professional work environment, they continuously are working on educating their employees by providing weekly lunch and learns and monthly training activities. The employees are nice and professional. This is a very fast paced environment, the overall goals are always headed for the right direction, however Bohler still needs plenty of improvement with their inside management style. With all of the work that can pile up, the inside managers need better techniques when organizing work to assure all employees have an adequate number of assigned tasks that balances for everyone. There is a lack of diversity. This is definitely a company where you fit best if you are a male or single female (or married without kids).

Nothing good here except the benefits and compensations. Coworkers act like they're your boss and management has no trust in you. They will find any minor inconvenience and make an issue about it. While I appreciated the generous benefits and compensations at Bohler, my experience was somewhat marred by a dynamic where certain coworkers assumed authoritative roles and management appeared to lack trust in their team. Minor inconveniences were at times unnecessarily magnified, and there seemed to be a preference for heeding the opinions of established employees over new hires. For management, I suggest fostering open communication and trust from the outset, perhaps by placing more emphasis on listening to new hires and trusting in their abilities.

I worked in corporate for nearly three years and saw firsthand that the problems at Bohler are systemic. Leadership doesn’t just tolerate poor managers — they promote them. HR admitted issues but took no meaningful action, and I even witnessed senior leaders publicly dress down colleagues. There’s a strong clique atmosphere where, if you don’t fall in line, you’ll eventually be pushed out. The values they claim to uphold are nothing more than words on a wall, not lived behaviors. This culture directly harmed my health and wellbeing, and I cannot recommend working here.

Corporate has good intentions with providing training and structure.  Well established company with good benefits.  Poor work environment.  Salaried workers required to work well above 40 hr a week to get submittals done without additional compensation.  Management is undertrained, rude and inconsiderate.  HORRIBLE LEADERSHIP AND MENTORSHIP.  If you're looking for no work-life balance, 60hrs a week with no extra compensation and a beer during work to make it through the day this is the place for you.

A typical day a Bohler Engineer started a little before 8am. The management was on top of everything at all times. The project managers set deadlines before the clients deadline to ensure that there was enough time for review and to make sure that it wasn't rushed. The senior engineer that I was responsible to reporting to had a wealth of knowledge. Anytime I had an issue with the software or a question, he took the time to explain it throughly. During my 4 months at Bohler I learned quite a bit about the land development.

Bohler is an excellent company that focuses on its employees more than anything else. I would recommend this company to any young and hungry engineer who is willing to put in long hours to get ahead. The management at Bohler can be hit or miss. Some of the managers are very strong and others not so much. The quality of your manager will greatly impact your quality of work life while at Bohler. 

Overall the compensation is competitive, the people are fun, and the work can be satisfying. However the hours are long, the work can be tedious, and the managers can be disorganized and micromanage.

I worked at Bohler for approximately 3 years. Unfortunately, I ended up working under one of the “problematic” project managers. I should have listened when other associates warned me about how many admins he had gone through over the years. But I’m stubborn and don’t like to give up on things.
Pluses: Very good salary, excellent benefits, and you will definitely never go hungry.
Minuses: Long hours, high stress, and a high likelihood of emotional abuse.
The CEO is wonderful and caring, and so is the majority of the staff.  But it’s a 50/50 shot whether or not you’ll be treated with respect by your PM.

I learned a lot about Land Developing and the work that goes along with it. I also got the chance to learn more about drafting with AutoCAD and got some experience using that program. Everyone who worked at the company put 100% into the job they were working on. The managers are friendly and are ready to help whenever needed. They all value having good relations with their customers and make sure the job they are doing is what they want while making sure its done correctly and safely.

I feel the company is great when you first start, then it’s ruined by management with their egos and power tripping! 
I worked with the management team that was toxic, between their whispering every morning and false narratives they would create; it was not a safe place and experience. The staff was overly quiet and afraid to express their feeling in front of management but would speak differently when the managers were not in.
