All the pay is prevailing wage concrete work, which is a bonus, (depending on the county you are working in because your pay is county based.)  I build new bridges and fix old ones. The work life balance isn't all that great being that you are gone mon-fri and some weekend days depending on time management, (which is out of your control.)  You pay for your own room and board, there is no per diem. Which means your hotel, food, and fuel is out of your pocket. We used to have winters off until last year when they went to year round work. The work is in Missouri, but, I have worked in Arkansas some. Management says that's done and over with because of the huge amount of turn around that occurred when those jobs started. You don't get paid if you show up and it's raining and you don't work, (even though you put in your time and gas to get to the job.) There is no work clothing/boot allowance. It's not a union company. The work culture is a bunch of guys fixing/building a bridge away from home staying in a hotel. 

There was only one supervisor in this company that I felt managed unjustly. Other than that, it is a pretty good company to work for. It is a family oriented type environment but that can naturally come along with a lot of drama and back stabbing.

Nice dispatch not good management, 
Management is out of touch with employees even though it is a small company.  Management thinks down on employees. 

I have been working for this company and I haven't had to worry about being fired they are lenient and not always over your shoulder like a hawk, and if your equipment breaks down it is fixed or they send you a loaner equipment to use till it is fixed.

This is a really good company to spend your carrier with. The people are awesome for the most part, and the pay is great. It does involve a little bit of traveling sometimes, but its very worth it. Wish that I had stayed....

Overall a great place to work. Pay is okay, benefits package is fair. Like any job it has its challenges but if you are motivated person you will succeed. 

I kept myself busy assisting others in the office with their day-to-day tasks. It is a great place to work. My coworkers were very pleasant to work with and I enjoyed helping them out.

Better management of job site and more checkups from higher up to straighten up the lower branches. Uphold and honor agreements that have been made with employees

Can't really say anything bad about them, they have a strong safety program . office personal was very helpful .a strong bridge culture.good benefits are offered
