HEI Civil

Management often displayed an insecure, controlling style that made it difficult to work productively. Supervisors frequently acted in a condescending manner, which created a toxic and unprofessional environment. Leadership tended to micromanage and assert authority unnecessarily, rather than supporting employees. At times, management’s behavior felt more about ego and control than teamwork and respect.

The equipment was fine and a few coworkers were great, but overall my experience at HEI Civil was negative. Management often pressured employees to rush jobs without proper training or resources. Communication from supervisors was inconsistent and sometimes disrespectful, making it hard to do the job right. I was sent to several jobs that were already completed due to lack of communication by the company. 

Work-life balance is nearly impossible — expect long hours, frequent travel, and very little consideration for family time. Pay and benefits were not competitive compared to other companies in the industry, and hard work often went unrecognized.

Overall: If you’re looking for long-term stability, fair treatment, and respect, I would not recommend this company.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Leaving the company was the best part

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lack of trustworthy leadership. Lower level employees are promised raises and promotions but then seemingly those promises are forgotten. Unless you are related to someone, nepotism is the rule at this company.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic work environment. Leadership will trash you behind your back to fellow employees. It is hard to know who to trust. People are promoted to positions that they do not have the knowledge for over people who do have the skill and knowledge.

What is the best part of working at the company?
No a single complaint about this company. I have never worked for a better company in my 25 year career.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing. The job I had was a little stressful and the company even did everything they could to minimize it. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very team oriented. Most of the time the help you get is the help you want. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Come in and get your work done using all of their many resources. Go home and enjoy your family. Go to bed knowing your paycheck will cash.

If you are not related to or very close friends with managment they don't care they treat you as a number and work you when they absolutely need a person in a seat . Not a family oriented company dont understand certain circumstances with children . They also expect you to work through lunches and still deduct time . Good company to work for if you want to be treated as a number . Your "thank you for your hard work bonus" is a lunch every couple months where they don't even bring enough for everybody 

Not a bad place to work overall.  Much of the equipment is newer which is nice for operators.  Benefits not too bad except that operators will cap out vacation time at two weeks.  Offers decent health insurance and paid holidays. No allowance for weather days so you have to burn up all your sick time/vacation pay to make up for bad weather days.  Standard construction work weeks of five ten hour shifts plus Saturdays as needed. Company has been growing so everything is subject to change.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
I was giving a chance to move up and keep learning as a foreman 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Having to deal with new employees that supposedly have years of experience only to find out they don’t know anything and just wanted bigger pay, we need more thorough interviews with candidates 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very family oriented, respectful

What is the best part of working at the company?
Lots of work . Good equipment 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lots of opportunities for growth

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very solid . Many different options 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
10/12 hours a day . Work in various conditions

Not much to say. The only positive was the pay. Management was shady. I got stuck in the mud and because of politics and lies I ended up getting fired. If you like the outdoors,  you'll love this job because you are outside 100 percent of the time. They dont allow you to get paid for working over 60 hours a week but will still work you 70 or more in the summer time which is highly illegal.

No way to advance. Favoritism is rampant. Was treated like I didn’t exist vs people hired at same time were treated super nicely and always received company gear etc.  CEO was completely detached from rest of company, he probably never even went to any of the job sites. 
As long as you’re one of the favorites you can di anything and not suffer repercussions. 

Company is flexible and is building a nice work environment. They are working to support employee needs on and off work.

Management wants people to succeed and will help them attain goals.

Major goal in company is to keep everyone safe while working. They go above and beyond with training.
