ESI CONSTRUCTION

start the day with morning meetings- safety one day, sub contractors another, and then owners meeting. the rest of the day consisted of working with sub-contractors to complete work on time per the drawings and specs and per the schedule. I learned a lot about leadership and working with great Project managers.
Job site culture is great. I love being on site with the trades. 
The hardest part of the job was dealing with a disconnected upper management. But i see that, that is starting to change with some upper management restructuring.
The best part of my day would be being on site and interacting with the other men and women on site.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great leadership, I really enjoyed working here. I was unable to stay due to family emergency at the time. Now that everything good at home I'll definitely be trying to come back.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing out of the ordinary. Most projects have all sorts of challenges.  But that's what makes it exciting as well.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Usually the work environment is great if everyone on your team has the same goal. We all want to get the job done safe and on time with the least amount of hiccups.

ESI will sell itself as a company with great retention and a moto if we all succeed together but that could not be further than the truth. Additionally the work/life balance is terrible with unrealistic demands on projects that are poorly developed prior to mobilization. Management failure are abundant and the superintendent is the scale goat for admin when a client is unhappy. This didn’t happen to me but to other superintendents I worked with. I highly recommend avoiding employment with ESI.

Too many chiefs, nobody seems to know what they are doing. People are hired with no plan in place and no clear direction of roles and responsibilities. Women with masters degrees are working the front desk, ordering lunch and fetching coffee for male executives.  This company needs to stop hiring friends, family and BSU grads who played sports and stop promoting people who dont know what they are doing.  Everyone is friendly, the culture is fun and if you stay out of the drama it balances out the cons.

Very professional atmosphere with support from the main office. I was furnished all the resources I needed to complete my work. Most difficulty with the job was keeping the subcontractors inline and on schedule.Most enjoyable part was the completion of the project in a timely manner and on budget.

ESI has a huge need for standard organization and modern software for a company this large. Process maps and value stream maps are also common for companies this size. I was surprised they were running on outdated management software that requires tribal knowledge to effectively navigate through. Lastly, extensive PM Training was promised but never delivered. They have a handful of leaders but mostly managers.

I had no experience going into ESI as well as plenty of my other coworkers, they taught me what I needed to know to survive at ESI and were very laid back as long as I was getting my work done, and when I had schedule issues and very personal issues they allowed me time off so I wouldn’t be distracted at the job. Outstanding and would recommend first for anyone looking to grow and learn a trade 

I must say that ESI is one of the best ran/managed companies I have worked with.   They WILL challenge you to the max and strive for excellence all the time.  Their management is young and very capable, smart, and understanding.  Great place to work and great teams to work with, but very challenging!   

ESI is the upside down pyramid, lots of leadership that should probably not be in leadership positions. Leadership at this company is good at promising many things during interview process, but not living up to those promises.

PM, office, supt, worked well together. the office staff & asst PM followed project from planning to completion
