Bowman

If you live a normal life like every other amarican this job is definitely not for you if you interested in wasting your whole life devoted to Bowman and never have a chance at growth well you got the perfect company in the palm of your hands !!!! Management is always changing that means the rules and way things run change on the daily and weekly basis you are definitely going to get changed around from role to role because they can never get it together as a company but they will expect you to get an unreasonable amount of signatures and yes i said signatures they wont tell you this in the interview but you will be door to door knocking in the heat regardless of weather conditions variables and that accure while working outside they wont take any of that into account this company is not fair when it comes to pay you may think your making good money but someone who is doing a lesser role may be getting paid more then you if you speak any other language then English i would advise you to not disclose this at any time due to they will use your talents to there own advantage i advise anyone looking into a role with this company take the other job offer you received or just keep looking this company cant keep employees no one lasts a year with them its because of nepotism the have family members in higher up roles and only bring up people who go to happy hour with them every night !!!! They make sure there own people are good regardless Family is everything at bowman only if your related to someone whos employed here this company only focuses on working on helping family members get better resumes while moving them up throughout the years thats why i say there is no growth within this company a lot more could be expressed just keep looking dont be hypnotized by a illusion they sell you ....

I was at Bowman for 4.5 months.  I was hired as a Project Coordinator.  My job was to handle project budgets, permitting, be a liaison between client and engineer, attend meetings, etc.  However, during my employment there I did none of those things.  After there was a change in management in October 2021, I was assigned tasks to do that the interns should have been doing (running errands, picking up snacks and birthday cakes, planning parties, etc.).  When I would bring it to management's attention I was shrugged off. The manager made it clear to me that she did not bring me on to be a project coordinator but to be an admin/executive assistant.  While management was poor my coworkers were great, really easy to work with and helpful when I needed any information.  The management is what needs to be changed.  Beware if you are hired as a Project Coordinator at the Sunrise branch you will be actually an administrative assistant/receptionist/intern.

This job is an absolute joke. You are required to work 6 days a week twice a month and can still only get 40 hours. They expect you to dedicate your life for their signings with a negative atmosphere. You will never move up in the company unless you are an a** kisser. Some of the team leads are incompetent of performance. Always changing employees and leaders. They start new people making more than people who perform the job. Nepotism and favoritism. Don't waste your time! They pay your phone bill but expect you to work off the clock! Company car but you are responsible for planning maintenance which there is never time for as they want you in the field at all times. Door to door knocking and trying to make appointments with people who think the whole project is a scam. To high expectations that can't be met weekly as no guarantees people with sign an easement to place a transformer. I wouldn't even have one on my own property.

BCG was my first private company to work at.  They gave me a chance to learn, flourish, thrive and strive.  I was teamed with an excellent and knowledgeable leader that TAUGHT me, groomed me to provide the necessary tools to do the job of designing within the land development realm.

I had an excellent environment, warm and friendly staff, great office accommodations and the opportunity to lead my own team as a project manager. Additionally, they gave me the opportunity to solve complex issues on numerous projects that were not managed by me.  They also gave me the opportunity to bring new clients into the BCG forum.

I had the ability to design both horizontal and vertical projects that involved all aspect of land development.

BCG is a great company to work for and a great atmosphere for any civil looking to move to another company!

What is the best part of working at the company?
Small office group and more family oriented. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Long hours and stress from project managers. Having project managers self appoint their job titles with no experience in this area. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Long hours that you don’t get paid for, empty office space because most prefer to work at home, hard to get ahold of management because they are either away from their desk, on a call, or can’t remember to call back. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Arrive by 8am, work and juggle multiple projects, pick up slack from junior project manager, listen to senior project manager with made deadline dates, stressed because of ever growing workload, leave when project is done, or you are tired from working. Then being reminded what your work schedule is when the one reminding can’t follow it either.

Whatever they say in your interview could change within a month. Myself and several coworkers did not feel as though they were transparent with the job hours, responsibilities, our career paths, or how the job would be managed. I asked questions about the job style only for it to be micro managed down the line. I worked 12+ hour days or more sometimes despite them saying I could make my own hours because there are reasonable deadlines. It became a regular routine to send me my assignment at 1 pm and ask for two days worth of work to be done by 8 am the next day. They also chose unorganized and incompetent management. My team was often having to correct the work of my manager but if we ever made a mistake it would blow up. The manager often threatened our jobs subtly as well. They test you to the limit here and see what they can get away with. Expect to be underpaid and rewarded with happy hours or catered lunch from jimmy johns as your bonus.

On a whole, bowman is one of the best private firms to work for. Management provides many learning opportunities and is always willing to train. Paid time off is a bit of a tease as they don't pay for holidays, yet force you to use your vacation time for these days. Salaries are much lower than national averages but other benefits are pretty good. They support a flexible schedule which is very helpful for someone working full time and pursuing a degree. Free lunches, summer fun events, cakes to celebrate birthdays are all a part of the things you can expect here. 401k matches 50 cents on the dollar. You earned it program allows you to earn points to purchase gift cards or cash in for extra money in your paycheck. Discount program makes our lower salaries a little bit easier to deal with.

1st this job is DOOR TO DOOR SALES 
2nd prepare to be extremely micromanaged
3 "leadership " is a joke
4 you will work 6 days a week just to hit 40. 

They claim to offer a flexible schedule but really they don't.  Your expected to work late into the evenings because you will be going door to door and that's when they expect people to be home.  The people over seeing the Florida market south of Melbourne are in over their heads and use intimidation to try and get more "signings".  This company is a bait and switch with the job you are interviewing for and what the actual position is.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
Good salary and benefits flexible hours good opportunity for growth 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not having proper training lead in the wrong direction and trying to figure out on my own then on top of trying to learn having quick turnaround deadlines and going over budget on projects often 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Good friendly atmosphere outgoing 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Usually different kinds of projects multi tasking at times

This job taught me a lot of skills in the energy gas field.. industrial construction.. gave me an opportunity to be responsible for large jobs and important projects.. the people were great, and when they were moving on they help find you a new job and gave you a great severance package.

Plus the learning experience was really use full. The leads for other opportunities was huge the places we went was great.. 

I would go back with then if jobs were available close by.. one of the best places to work for..
