GPI, while large, has that small business feel, where the Branch Manager knows you by name, is genuinely interested in your personal success, and really lives by their strategic objectives - the first three of which are Employee Satisfaction, Quality Product, and Client Satisfaction, in that order. They believe that if you have happy employees putting out good work, that the client should be happy too, and all of that should lead to financial strength, which is the 4th strategic objective. During COVID, emphasis was placed on what works for each individual as opposed to forcing people to stay home or go back to the office. You really do have a family at GPI.

GPI is a very well managed outfit. They strive to hire top people and treat them fairly. Management is quick to investigate and respond to any perceived problems in the field. Field Management frequently checks in with the field forces and gets up to speed with what is going on. Training is valued. The home office is a bastion of highly qualified engineers that are always available to help with any technical problems. Employees have high regards for this company. Team Building and professionalism are valued and practiced seriously. I value my GPI work shirts and jacket!

If you like your profession and what you do, working with GPI is an enjoyable experience.  You do not really feel like working.  There is not such a thing like your boss watching from behind your shoulders.  There are only two major requirements:
1. Work quality;
2. Be ready with your project by the due date.

When in meetings with clients, be prepared to defend your design solutions with facts and results.

Review contractor activities for compliance with plans and specifications. Measure contractor's work activities and record material used.

Learned how to field test concrete. Also learned what not to do in regards to subgrade density and placement of embankments.

The hardest part of the job was always being correct in observations. This was the Ohio River Bridge Southern Indiana and Louisville Project, and was under Federal Highway Administration supervision.

The best part of the job was the pay and leaving the job in my rearview mirror.

meet/greet clients, 80+ phone lines, monitored/distributed USPS, Fed-X, UPS, faxes, scanning, copying documents, assisted HR dept w/Timesheets, AR, assited with updating folders for employee benefits, filing, assisted w/Marketing, coalating documents, mass mailings, updated customer contacts for company, assisted Engineers with updates, confirm and schedule meetings. Negotiated prices/contracts for company supplies and vendors. No job task was to hard for me while on the job. I enjoyed every part of my Job with GPI.

With all the skills and responsibilities I have gained through out the years I feel I am underpaid. the workers are helpful they hire many people especially while in college. I just want to earn more money like some of the other workers and at a point in where I don't know what else to learn to get a better salary. Also work with other companies in this project that do not want to train me or show me anything because it's job security for them. Takes me 3 hours a day to get to work and back home. Hardest part of the the job when you come into the middle of it is that everyone is assigned to their own work and it's like your looking for work to stay busy.

When first was hired I felt like GPI would be a good company to work for. But after a while you start to learn that this company is all about themselves and not for looking out for their employees. Some co-workers I had were great, but others were down right awful. Not people friendly and very difficult to work with. Had one of the worst Resident Engineers I have ever had to work with. Compared to other companies they grossly underpay and undervalue their employees. There are better companies out there to work for. Save our self a lot frustration and pain and avoid this company.

Highway group is always busy, when there's work- THERE'S WORK! 

Never a perfect amount of work, either too little or way too much, at times requiring 50-60+ hour weeks.

Each group is managed differently, each group varies in work loads, ethics, and cultures in general.  Trying to become a large/ NYC type firm which can be awkward. They seem to be going through the small to large company transition phase.

I began working in a small branch in Ocala, FL. When the branch was downsized, I was asked if I could work from home. When I moved to Ohio, I requested a transfer and work fully remote with the Maryland branch. My job is completely data entry, some is ongoing but I also assist co-workers with overflow work. 

I experienced a tremendous amount of opportunity and growth in the nine years I worked at GPI.  I started out as a design landscape architect in a support position and was promoted to a project manager after three years.  I had many responsibilities including management of multiple multimillion dollar open end contracts, multimillion dollar projects and their clients.  I thrived on the challenge and relationships I built over the years.
