Capital Construction

Be prepared to drive and sell overpriced renovation jobs. Did I mention you need to drive? There’s a whole lot of driving. Be ready to pay for your own gas! 

Pros: 
- ability to make some pretty decent money, but often times it is a gamble.
- Managers and co workers are pretty great. Don’t have any complaints with these guys. 

Cons: 
- upper management has everyone come to Canton MA for a weekly Monday morning meeting where often nothing of value is discussed. These are also not paid, so you are wasting your time there.
- Prices for products (siding and decking in particular) you sell are very high and it turns off a lot of people. Some clients do want an unreasonably low price but it is often times just out of budget for average people. 
- You will be driving a lot. You are not reimbursed for mileage or wear and tear on your vehicle. I’ve driven as much as 6-7 hours a day multiple times.
- If you have bad luck with your appointments like a streak of no shows and cancels, you won’t be paid at all. If you don’t make a sale in a 10 day period, you can go completely unpaid. It’s a W-2 job, but it’s 100% commission other than your training pay and a $250 once-a-month allotment for company clothing.  
- You will often be sent out to unqualified leads that waste your time. 
- Be ready to deal with potential clients shopping around for quotes from other companies regularly. With this company operating a one-call-close model you often times cannot overcome this situation and as a result get no pay and have wasted your time and gas. 
- If you sign a deal and make a sale, the client has a 3 day right to rescind the contract and cancel. They can also be declined for financing which nullifies the deal. When this happens, you again get no pay for your time and effort. 

All in all, the core sales team is a good group of guys but the company is just run too inefficiently. Prices are too high for most people and just went up again in January this year. There are too many unqualified leads being accepted. If there was a weekly base pay at the company, bonuses for getting people to sign, the meetings were paid and had mileage reimbursement it would absolutely be worth working here. Until these issues are rectified, it’s not worth it. 
My advice to ownership is: take better care of your employees with a base pay or at the very least gas reimbursement, lower your sky-high prices, and have a more rigorous qualification process for leads. 

The offer by the company was below the salary range posted for the job. Company vehicle and salary bump after 3 months of "satisfactory review" and commission on completed jobs with customer satisfaction surveys. The company uses subcontractors for all of their projects which can be a challenge for meeting quotas specially at the beginning.
For the first 3 months, you are supposed to use your personal vehicle to visit job sites. A car allowance of $500 per month is provided which is not enough as this is a position that you drive to visit jobsites all day long and $500 per month does not cover the wear and tear of a vehicle used for driving so  many miles or the car insurance requirements (keep in mind that if you drive your vehicle for work, you are supposed to let the insurance company know and premium usually goes up).
The on-boarding and training for the position is unclear and no information was provided. 
Here where the concern is, if you are a "super star" you may get the bump in pay and a vehicle after 3 months, if you do average, you will be kept at the same low starting salary and have to keep using your personal vehicle. This job requires you to be available 7 days a week and evenings.
The company is urgently hiring as they just became the contractor for one of the large home improvement companies in the area. 
The vibe of the company made me feel like they are just trying to hire enough people for the rush of the first 3 months that this new client created and that they will just trim the company staff afterwards.
The interview was a mess, one of the people that was supposed to interview me did not show up. I was told thank you for coming in, I walked to my car only to be asked to walk back in to interview with someone else. A job offer was presented to me within a 48 hrs.




Typical day at Capital Construction consists of getting out to your pre set appointments, reviewing the requested scope of work in home with the client. Reviewing products and colors and showing how we can transform their home and assist with their needs.

Since working here I have learned how important it is to work as a team, even with the position being on the road. Communication with your peers and management staff makes the difference in your ability to take control of your day and be successful in assisting the needs of clients.

Management is very thorough and will assist with training whether it be in home or in the office. Working with a group of well rounded individuals has been amazing as well as life changing for myself and my family. 

Company culture is amazing at Capital Construction as most similar positions you can get lost in the work when you do not communicate. Having great in house meetings and events to bounce ideas off of your peers who want each other to succeed is amazing!

The most enjoyable part of my job is working with the team we have built and getting to know each other as we grow and succeed together. I am incredibly thankful for the team and upper management for this wonderful opportunity.

If you are looking for a company that will send you 100 miles from home and the appt not be home or even interested in your services, then you have found your place.  In the time I was there I saw at least 100 sales people come and go. As of today they are on their 5th VP of Sales in under 2 years. That position is a maximum of 6 months.  The title sounds great, yet they aren't able to make 1 decision. That all comes from the COO, who's stuck in the 1980's way of doing business. It's all smoke and mirrors, sadly they are on a rapid decline. If you are looking to get into this industry, this is not the place. Zero to terrible training, constant turnover and you can trust them like a fox in a hen house.  

The operation is day to day.  You will never have a full schedule for the week.   Expect to get emails after 8pm-11-pm of what your appointments are for the next day.  Expect to have appointments canceled at the door or in route.  Expect Managers to take 3 appointments a day while you may get 1.  Expect to empty your bank account on gas.  The managers in Canton are great people.  The manager in the North is excellent.   Unfortunately the assistant manager is a car salesman he is manipulative and worries about himself.  Training started all over the place and then was shoved down your throat and you will be put in the field.  You need to use your own phone and IPad.  Beware

100% commission they teach a sales process and how to handle objections They teach No product knowledge whatsoever just throw you on appointments. They expect you to drive all over the place and spend your own gas and money  and other materials. They only give you $250 in gas but it's  taxed? You will go months without a paycheck as they expect you to sell on first appointment only. You find out the night before where you are going at like 8-10pm and where your going next day. Turn over for sales reps is so high most are gone after 2 months. They can't even keep the upper management. 

Working for Capital Construction has been an incredible experience so far, The management and senior leadership, are not only supportive and approachable but also genuinely invested in helping everyone succeed. They go above and beyond to provide guidance and create opportunities for growth. What sets this company apart is the strong sense of family and teamwork we’ve built, it truly feels like a second home. The positive culture and shared dedication to excellence makes every day rewarding. I’m proud to be part of such an amazing organization!

Pushing for enormous growth far too fast, company financially unstable and looks for reasons to not pay bonuses.  Comp plans mean nothing, many employees not paid many times.  Shady owners that run you ragged, no concern for employees only results.  Worst culture and highest turnover rate I’ve ever seen.  Underlying tension in every department.  No solid plan, they just make it up as they go and procedures change monthly.  Doesn’t matter how hard you work, you’re always replaceable there and they let you know it.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Having to chase after your money

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Listening to their antiquated sales methodology coming from a dirty accent

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Miserable and on edge. Never knowing what the mood is going to be like from day to day. You’re just a number. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Driving 6 hours a day to deal with clinically insane people, who are the only ones to pay their premiums.

I've recently joined Capital Construction and have found it to be a promising place to work. The company has a dynamic environment and offers a range of projects that keep things interesting. The team is supportive, and there seems to be a strong emphasis on professional development. Overall, the training and technology is superior to any other company I have worked with and I am  looking forward to growing with the company.
