Nightmare company to work for. Very much a clique in upper management including keeping and supporting a serial harasser on staff due to his wife being a prominent commercial real estate agent in town . I had complained to HR a few times about his behavior and harassment and was told it would be taken care of and not to worry and I was not the first complaint. I knew about this because the person in my position prior to me had an episode with him that made her feel so uncomfortable that he was not allowed in our office after she reported it. Then I heard he was going to be put in the office next to mine (where I was alone most of the time) during their upcoming remodel and I voiced my concern over being alone in his vicinity and was again told I shouldn't worry. Shortly after the last complaint I was let go (after 3 years of employment with no write ups or any disciplinary action) and was told it was due to " restructuring of my dept" . Poor communication to employees and customers alike. Would rather lay off mass amounts of employees every season to save a buck than keep loyal employees around and pay a fair wage.  They are unable to keep good employees due to how they treat/pay them. Family based business means that they only care if you are part of their family or someone they play golf with, so many service visits were waived due to being rich friends of the owner, while marking up people with limited means visits and management telling us we need to bump up our sales. Not allowed to take time off during summer or winter (unless upper management who would take off weeks in the busy season) because we needed to be there to support the business.

This company really has no idea what it's doing.  The estimating system (a simple and non-sensical excel document made by someone with little grasp of the trade) has been out of date for at least a half century.  No one in the industry works this way for good reason.  I have no faith in their ability to price things correctly in such a rudimentary and disorganized way.

You'll be given a task with a due date.  Guess what, that date will move without you knowing because the only way you'll find out is an email every 2 days with the new dates.  Think you were on schedule?  Think again.  You just magically became late!  They implemented a policy that you had to have your detailed scope submitted a full three days before your estimate.  Which is absurd because guess how you get that information?  Yeah, by doing the estimate. They decided to make this change during one of the busiest weeks which instantly flagged us to managment as "Late" for these projects, but only because they were applying a new policy retroactively.  They said don't worry about it, but like on other occasions, that was simply a lie.

The managment of this company is really lacking.  Half the people I spoke with had no clear understanding of who they reported to.  You get half information from questionable sources and all along you're assured that everything is fine.

If you're looking for a job or a competant contractor, there are plenty of professional and capable options out there.  This isn't one of them.

Jet has been a fantastic place to work for. I feel as though I am learning something new every day. Everything feels fresh and exciting, it isn't a typically do the same thing every day type of job. You have to be able to adapt in the moment and think on your feet which is exciting. It can be frustrating that there isn't a standard for every situation but that's because every project is different and honestly the challenge is what makes the job fun and not feel like a typically "office" job. Even though there might not be a set standard for every situation there is a "Jet" standard for how to handle situations and protocols to follow. Everyone that works at Jet is incredibly friendly and helpful, I felt like I was welcomed into the team right away. I would recommend Jet as a great place to work with lots of room for growth and opportunity if you apply yourself. Upper management is great and feels like the truly care about you and how you are feeling in regards to work. Everyone here wants everyone to be successful and helps make sure that you are and have the opportunities to be.


Jet is a place that makes me feel valued. They are always looking for ways to be better. They send out surveys asking for ways to improve, and then implement changes proposed. Jet values learning and teaching. They offer in house classes and are more than happy to teach you everything you need to know in order to grow in your position.
Honestly, I truly feel like upper management cares about me and making sure that I am happy and taken care of. They don't just care about what I can do for them. 
I enjoy the people that I work with, the random coffee and donut days, and the little thank you cards/emails that I get from other team members. During the holidays we do Secret Santa gift exchanges, potlucks, and have a killer Christmas party. 
Working in construction can be frustrating at times, but everyone I work with here at Jet, and the value I feel as a person and in my job makes it all worth it. My position specifically is incredibly interesting and I get to be a part of all divisions throughout the duration of projects. Each day is different, I am continually learning, and all projects bring a new challenge.

All of the management in this company are stuck in their ways. There are no thank yous told to employees for doing a great job. You are expected to shut your mouth and follow orders. Nobody takes your opinion seriously and nobody cares about your opinion. The upper management have nice plush offices while the peons are stuffed in cubicles. They say that they treat you like family but this is the most Dysfunctional Family I've ever seen. People get fired here forgiving their opinion and that's just unjust! There is a division here that is missing, and it's called quality control. The owners don't realize this and they micromanage you to the point of frustration. Run from this company if you can!

I look forward to going to work every day. I work with a fantastic group of people who make my days fun and productive. I don't stress out about work when I'm at home like I did in the past.

At Jet, you're treated as an adult. Expectations are clearly set and you're free to focus on accomplishing the tasks you've been assigned. It's so refreshing. There's no micro-managing and respect is shown for my experience.

The HR Department is fantastic! I've never worked at a company where the HR Department showed up for the employees and provided support to the extent they do at Jet. Top notch all the way.

Construction is an ongoing learning experience and need for doing more with less. Building in Oregon is tough so leveraging technology to minimize overhead is important. Staying current on the latest construction apps and the flexibility to pivot and adapt is what makes Jet great to work for. They value input and feedback to adjust and learn. There is always data that can be incorporated into the next project. 

The hard parts of the job can be from difficult projects and timelines. Luckily the coworkers are there to be in the trenches, forming bonds and memories for the family bbq. 

If you can hang in construction, you can hang here. 

I've been in the industry for 43 years and have worked all over the country and for many different companies. This is the first time I have worked for an employer who actually gave me all of the tools and resources with training and direction to set me up for success. The time, efforts and overall engagement of the management teams for each division is something I have always hoped for but never seen. This company invests time and money to ensure their employees are given every opportunity to succeed. I actually look forward to being at work and helping to make a difference. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great work life balance. Awesome people, with a family first mindset. Jet is constantly striving to improve in all aspects of it how operates. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The construction business in general can be stressful. Time is money, and pressure to execute to prevent schedule delays is top priority. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Honesty, integrity, and  professionalism is the culture at Jet.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
The days typically fly by due to the fast paced nature of the business.
