Lakeside Project Solutions

Pros

• Fast growing company
• Room for growth and advancement
• Salary also contains bonus performance incentives (Can be good and bad)
• Maintains a friendly and eager to help culture. Even when the cons arise - there seems to be a collective effort to resolve.
• Involvement: leadership does a great job and ensuring you feel appreciated and that your a member rather than a "number"

Cons

• Smaller company so there are some growing pains as we grow (quickly). This can lead to heavy workloads at time. But I will say that these are recognized and management appears to make active efforts and initiatives to minimize them.
• Expectation to work hard and produce (I don't really think this is a negative but believe it warrants a nod)

Advice to Management

•Role specializations and distribution as there is a good chunk of everyone needs to know information.
• Defined / tailored(as appropriate) road map for personal advancement

I worked at Lakeside Project Solutions for approximately 1 year before feeling my entire soul being sucked out of my body. The expectations, questionable business ethics and  pure disregard for anyone’s well being from upper management is the things nightmares are made up of. This company preached about ‘happy humans’ but the extreme opposite is what’s actually happening. As the review below mentions, you will be expected to work any amount of hours they wish for very little pay. They will find any excuse possible not to pay out where bonuses are deserved and you will quickly become stressed and miserable. The turnover is insanity so the people who are there are overloaded with an unmanageable workload.  I would not advise this job to anyone who has any self worth. 

This has to be hands down the worst place I have ever worked. Let’s start with the why. The leadership team was promoted from within with zero management experience. The leadership team members talk badly about each other to employees.

Work life balance is quite literally the worst of any company. If you actually want to make any money plan on working all hours of the day and night because the 40k salary just doesn’t cut it. 

You never know if you actually have job security because your boss will act like your best friend and then stab you in the back. The level of unprofessionalism is unmatched. 

The employees who don’t actually do anything all day are the ones “in” with upper management. Managers play favorites.

If you can help it, I wouldn’t work here unless it was my only option. 

Upper management has nothing to do with the day to day operations of the company, because if they did, I cannot imagine what they did before their current jobs.   The turnover is so massive, the 9 months I was there, 34 people quit, not laid off or fired.   Quit.    That should have told mgmt. something, but yet, it still keeps happening.

Also, don't count on your salary being what they advertise.   Also the so-called bonus structure is a false narrative to get you in the door.   Once you are in, then you will be told how many hours you will have to put in to get very small percentage.  PLEASE    keep in mind too, these are SALARIED jobs, and the expectation is you BELONG to them for whatever hours they want you for.  

The company has been growing fast. A lot of changes have been made, but the management really makes an effort to ensure everyone is satisfied with their position, and truly wants people to be happy working at the company. It is fast paced which isn't for everyone, and like any demanding job there can be long days. But the company does it's best. Very casual work environment, hybrid work from home, bring your dog to work, food trucks, company events. Management has been in the trenches with the team and they are willing to pitch in and pull the weight. If you aren't afraid to work hard, learn and live by the values you have room to grow and can learn a lot. 

When I joined Lakeside I was told it is a high performing company. And it certainly is. We process over 300 jobs a week. Its a very organized company, lots of processes and systems. They work hard and they play hard. From food trucks, outings, bring pets to work, and many other employee activities to build relationships and trust they work hard to keep employees happy. Some days are hard, with a large work load, but I feel I'm supported and have the resources. If you aren't a high performing individual that follows processes and pays attention to details then this won't be for you. I thrive in this environment so it's a great fit! 

Lakeside Project Solutions was a wonderful place to work! Everyone in the company, from the CEO to the Janitor worked as a team. The CEO treated each employee in such a way that made their role important. Each person did their part to make the business successful. It took us all and we were appreciated on a regular basis to let us know that we were cared for!

What is the best part of working at the company?
The company has a family atmosphere and everyone is willing to help everyone. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The extremely fast pace. There were always very many projects going at once.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very teamwork oriented. Low key atmosphere that always dogs to be brought to work.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Dealing with team members and customers to ensure quality work was completed and find resolutions to issues should they arise.

Overall, there are really no hard core complaints.  However, it seems that there are very few that actually have the experience needed for this type of work.  When you come from an environment where most of your peers have over 25 years hands-on in residential or commercial construction, it’s hard to understand how this company does business.   The business model is outdated, and the ones that can change that either won’t or can’t because they don't know how.

Work culture was positive.  Colleagues are decent.  The CEO is amazing.  The trainer is very misleading and not very forthcoming. Be aware. The job is stressful. Leaches outside of business hours. The workload and compensation don’t match. Try another company first.  Health insurance carrier is BCBS but the premiums are unaffordable with your base salary or $45,000.   Flexibility is a must.  Be aware of office politics.
