F.A. Wilhelm Construction Company

What is the best part of working at the company?
My boss is amazing, he listens and understands, very professional.
He is the corporate Safety Director.
The company has a lot of work. My son and. husband also works on different projects for the same company. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
My commute to work, it’s too long. Getting push back from management when I am trying to perform my duties and keep my people working Safe.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
At Eli Lilly’s, it was Safety first. I had 100 % back up. The management let safety make  the decisions when it came to a person not complying.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Performing site specific orientations, ensuring the safety of the Craft is number one, I attend meetings, complete paperwork and submit it properly. Ensure toolbox talks are happening before work begins.. Incident  reporting and RCA’s

Company is based out of Indianapolis and has a different culture not common to today's workplace.  Management is unapproachable to say the least.  Like many companies they have their own way of doing things, but unfortunately many of the practices and materials I haven't seen in 20 years.  Safety is lacking and the scheduling is unrealistic.  In their effort to get things done they often lack the foresight to plan correctly and many tasks are performed two and even three times before done correctly.  The only time the super comes into the field is to complain and micro manage regardless of what task is performed.  Extremely negative environment! I would not recommend working for this company unless it's a temporary assignment.

The organization is great, the management isn't so much.  They let employees make their own rules which can make for a bad work experience at times.
I had a positive attitude daily, but I was one in very few who did in the office, it just wasn't fair across the line where policies are concerned, as they would create the policy for all and maybe 33% followed it, the rest did not and were still rewarded while the rest that did follow were not?

Depending on the project I would meet with crew and subcontract supervisors to detail the work for the day and set goals for project completion.
Wilhelm management reviewed the project at least weekly and was available for direction and guidance as needed.
A large project with multiple phases of the project in progress at the same time constantly conflicted with each other.
To see the project come to a conclusion under budget & on time.

The day starts with a safety meeting. We make a circle go over safety practices that we have to be mindful of while performing our job task always being aware of the dangers that lurk with in every job site big and small.  Wilhelm is by far the absolute best company I've ever had the pleasure to work for. They pay fair and they put their best foot forward when teaching there team members the proper way to conduct ourselves on the job and give equal opportunity to all the are willing to learn !. Wilhelm has a pro for everything k

What is the best part of working at the company?
strong company with Great Leadership. Excellent Safety record and they give back to their community AND PEOPLE.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Cold winter weather. No stress just success.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
excellent. Large group of leaders in their field and always growth mindset.

As a first time intern experience, being placed in the field with little structure made for an interesting introduction to the construction industry. A varied work week allowed me to experience both office and field work on an introductory level that, despite much of the chaos, peaked my interest in pursuing a career of construction management.

Lied implying it was permanent position when it wasn't. The employees were nice but the office manager was anything but. Would be told to do something (such as send an email) then get yelled at for sending it (exact wording you were told to write).  That happened on multiple occasions (was told to do something, did it, was yelled at for doing it). It's ridiculous and highly stressful. Others have issues with management as well.

Typical work day is busy. But there is down time as well- it depends on which location you are at.

You get to learn new items every day. 

Workplace culture is team oriented and task completion driven.

Hardest part of job is project completion deadline, most enjoyable part of the job is keeping busy, learning new, and the people.

Started out as a nice place to work; however, communication was poor.  Instructions doled out intermittently when it should have been addressed fully from the beginning.  Workload comes from everyone with different instructions from everyone.
No true direction.
Poor management communication.
