Clayco

Increasingly toxic workplace dynamics and poor leadership. The VPs operate in a disconnected bubble, unaware of the day-to-day realities their teams face. The management approach prioritizes relentless productivity over employee well-being, treating staff more like machines than people,   A five-day, in-office workweek is mandatory and strictly enforced. Working beyond regular hours is expected. Despite promoting a culture of collaboration, socializing during work hours is frowned upon, making for an isolating and uninspiring work environment.  For those with families or any personal obligations, the lack of work-life balance is incredibly draining. If you’re not willing to commit to 60+ hours a week and sacrifice PTO or sick days, advancement opportunities are slim. While they claim to support diversity, there are very few women in leadership roles making AEC-related decisions; growth opportunities are severely limited.

Clayco offers great medical insurance, 401k match and other perks of working in the company such as gym discount, company paid retreat and career development events. They also prioritize safety onsite and incentivize subcontractors on injury free and high performance projects. Work life balance is average, just like every other GCs, hectic days and long hours here and there. If your PM is a good manager that values what you have done, it would be a great company to work with. At the end of day, it is really the people your work with.

Downside of this company is that the rapid growing has led to unstructured company hierarchy. A field PE could be reporting to a VP instead of the PM on site and some employees have the weirdest titles EVER where you have no idea what this person does on a daily basis. 

Working with Clayco was a frustrating and disappointing experience due to its poor company culture and lack of a positive working environment. The hiring process was painfully long, drawn-out, and highly unprofessional, with interviews stretching over two to three months without clear communication or transparency. This lack of efficiency and organization was a red flag that became even more apparent once inside the company, where the culture felt disjointed and uninspiring. Leadership seemed disconnected from employees, and there was little effort to foster a supportive or engaging workplace. Overall, Clayco failed to provide a professional and welcoming experience, making it a difficult place to work.

I learned more here with software. Originally I had only worked with hardware in computers and they taught me quite a lot. My co-workers were great and every day with them was probably the most enjoyable part...that, and the fact I got to work with computers. A typical day included things like:

-Built , imaged and installed computers for new and existing employees
-Ordered and set up new cell phone service for new and existing employees
-Answered incoming calls about network connection issues, outlook issues, multiple program issues and any
problem being had by a user, MAC or PC.
-Software installation (PC)
-Set up and connected printers remotely by IP for MAC and PC
-Experience with Active Directory as well as Microsoft Exchange and Citrix.
-Experience with Service Manager Console and Helpstar

After installing all IT Equipment for the employees Personal Workstations, my team of PC Technicians spent time performing HyperCare with the employees in a face to face manner. This included configuration of numerous profiles including skype for business, Microsoft Office 365, and other applications necessary to perform work.

It was a fun workplace that included ping pong tables and televisions in the break room, along with a well-stocked refrigerator. 
Lunch was also included and paid for by the higher ups, and was often delicious

Greeat company with a great culture. You will be asked to work long hours but you will be supported and taken care of by your site team and management. Pay and benefits are great which make up for the long hours. You will be challenged but if you succeed you are recognized and rewarded. I was given an unsolicited raise after 90 days for performance. 

The only downside is the 7 day a week work schedule, altho contractors can opt out of weekends. Great strengths in supporting projects,communication and clear networking between contractors and sub contractors by upper management.

Working with well with others, just a great company to work for.

Absolutely nothing, maybe working outside in the heat.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Just great, a well kept family atmosphere.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Just great you start the morning off with a stretch and flex every morning.

The ambition, vision and talent of the leadership of Clayco is way above average for the design/build construction industry.  There is no doubt that they value their employees and spare nothing to equip them with the state of the art tools and technology.
