More concerned with tons on the ground versus safety, quality and customer service.  Production at all costs.  BSG treats their front line employees like dirt; poor benefits, low pay and little time off.  The safety culture was pathetic; routinely saw employees not wearing required PPE unless upper management or safety officer was around.  Alcohol use was encouraged by ownership.  Routinely witnessed employees drinking on the clock; including HR representatives and supervisors/managers.  The work environment was very poor and deteriorating during my time there.  Communication among departments was non existent. Overall it was a very disappointing experience and would not recommend employment at BSG.

Operated heavy and light weight equipment pertaining to highway construction and maintenance. Ran paver, steel wheel rollers, screed operator, spreader boxes, track hoes, back hoes, scrapers, graders and grade-all. I was also responsible for running the asphalt plant. I learned how to operate the heavy to light equipment and fabrication. The management was a great place to work for and they gave credit where credit was due. The co-workers were all great to work with and easy to get a long with. The hardest part of the job was laboring from time to time. The most enjoyable part of the job was the work and the workers. 

This place has a classic “good boys club”. All of the upper management is a in a clique and if you’re not, you won’t get treated right or have respect. The culture is so toxic that it’s necessary for people to have loud, aggressive arguments to earn respect. 
They want modernization and innovation but aren’t willing to budge from their broken system. I was hired to do that, and every time I tried to change something I was told “we don’t do that”. They change policies and rules on you and then lie about when you had verbal warnings to write you up and force you out. I stay at jobs for years and I was over this place at 6 months in.

My immediate manager was amazing a true leader and professional.   Higher up management is horrible they fire people on a whim and are extremely disrespectful and they harass those underneath them most of the people in the office were never qualified to have the positions that they hold but at Brannan it’s all about who you know not what you know 

I’ve worked for some rough companies in my 20 plus years in the industry but Brannan was without a doubt the most unnecessarily difficult.  Walking away was the best thing I ever did 



Things are changing. Some new management is in place. A great HR team with recruiters is in place. Some of the higher management has changed. A new addition has been added to the safety team. Schedules have been changed to help with the work-life balance. Things are changing. Yes, there is still the old boys' club, from safety to hourly employees to upper management. And hopefully that changes. Change takes time, and I believe that if we continue to work at the dream, we will make that change.

When working with Brannan, each day will be different. Working in the construction industry there will be challenges, goals to meet and have to work together as a team to make your job easier and less stressful. I work in the Asphalt department and I've been with Brannan since 2015. Since I've been here you create a bond with your co-workers and it makes 10x better to come to work each day, especially when management helps you achieve your goals and wants you to succeed.

The place is horrible. Everything from work hours to insurance to management! They lie about everything to get you hired! Management talks down to you like you're a piece of trash on the ground. No integrity like most of the companies in America and they out source with Mexican workers. They only care about production  and fake about safety.

Good pay for Denver but management is horrible.  Communication is horrible.  90 percent of the time issues wont ever get fixed correctly half assed at best It’s get it running and we will fix it later but real meaning is we won’t fix it but will complain  and blame whoever when it breaks again.  They pride themselves on safety but in reality as long as they are making money and nobody gets hurts then keep going

90 days through a temp agency then another 90 to be able to qualify for benefits was difficult. Also while there maybe more hours in the summer, during the winter hours are terriable this was extremely difficult. Safety concerns were not meet. Procedure was not followed and they do not abide by their equal opportunity policy which is why I was told I resigned.

This is a good place to work for job security and they have plenty of employees with tons of experience for teaching and training. 
The fundamental issue is that this company is a family run business and there is strong preferential treatment and hand outs given to employees that are related to those who have ownership.
