Leola Construction

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing. One of the most challenging aspects was the company’s approach to pricing and project execution. In my experience, projects were often bid at extremely low margins to secure volume, which created pressure throughout the construction process. This sometimes resulted in subcontractors being expected to complete work under very tight budgets and timelines, which could impact overall workmanship and long-term quality. As a result, follow-up repairs and corrective work frequently became necessary, placing additional strain on both clients and other trades involved in the project.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
One of the most stressful aspects of the job was the constant pressure of balancing tight deadlines, limited budgets, and coordination between multiple subcontractors while still trying to maintain quality standards. There was also significant pressure placed on construction managers to negotiate trades down to extremely low pricing in order to keep projects within budget, which often created tension with subcontractors and impacted overall project quality. In many ways, the role extended beyond construction management and required acting as a salesperson and negotiator, rather than being able to focus strictly on proper project oversight and execution.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment was often very toxic and high pressure. Employees were frequently placed in difficult situations with unrealistic expectations, limited support, and constant stress from deadlines and budget constraints. It was also common to deal with frustrated clients, and at times employees would be spoken to disrespectfully or cursed at by customers while still being expected to immediately resolve issues outside of their control. The overall culture often felt reactive rather than supportive, which made maintaining morale and long-term job satisfaction difficult.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day often felt less like true construction management and more like constant babysitting between subcontractors, schedules, client expectations, and internal management demands. A large portion of the job involved handling mistakes, callbacks, and quality issues that were often the result of the company prioritizing extremely low-cost labor and subcontractors in order to reduce project expenses. In many cases, it felt like investing slightly more upfront into experienced, qualified trades could have prevented many of the recurring issues, delays, and corrective work that project management was ultimately left to resolve.

Leola Construction has been the most challenging and rewarding place that I have ever been a part of in my entire working career. Both of these things, the challenges and wins, have significantly contributed to my growth (personally and professionally) and are the things that excite me about continuing to be a part of this company. Our culture is centered around teamwork knowing that none of us can complete individually what all of us can accomplish together. The opportunities for growth are here, if you work hard and take advantage of them. We do not promote people based on seniority, you have to work hard and put yourself in the position to want more, contribute more and to do more. Opportunities are earned, not given. We are a different environment - we have high expectations, we are constantly growing and adapting, and we are willing to train and grow people with zero experience in our field, or in some departments, to give people skills we're happy to have here and that they can take into their future journey. This isn't just a job. Anyone who is looking to go in and get by isn't going to be the right fit. It's a passion to learn more and do more, it's an excitement to participate in the structure and strategy of the business, it's an internal drive to get things done and it's a place where you can have a team that supports you, listens to you, and cares about your feedback as well as cares enough to give feedback. It's not for everyone, but for the ones it is for; it's awesome.

Expect a quick video interview that is as easy as they come while the regional manger is also doing work and extremely distracted. 
After getting hired you get to work the the Hr department which seems like isn’t even attached to the same company with how clueless they are for the whole hiring process or anything you send to them. 
You will then get to buy your own supplies and equipment on your own dime for reimbursement at a later date. 
You will be expected to commute to the furthest possible job site for a few weeks to test if you will show up. Expect a good hour each way drive with zero gas or mileage compensation for the first 90 days presently. 
Day to day:
Unorganized in both management and communication. Daily operations are touch and go depending on the attitude of the area or regional manager. You must suck up to the managers and be teachers pet for long term success within. Favoritism is strong within these companies and can be seen openly. Communication is often vague and unclear. So you must be willing to drop everything as needed. 
Pay is average at best with subpar benefits compared to the industry. 
Overall this is a company that needs a lot of help in the management and the HR department to have a successful workplace culture and future. 
If you need work it’s okay but if you want a career look elsewhere as im doing now.

"Working at Sole Consulting Partners has been an incredible experience. From day one, I've felt supported by my team and management/inspired by the company's mission.
My role as an Administrative Assistant is consistently engaging. I particularly love the challenge of working with our subs, translating and explaining the pay, ordering supplies for the field and the office, setting up for meetings, or just getting treated for lunch by the CFO. The monthly activities we have are like no other places I have worked.
The culture here truly sets it apart. I enjoy working in a collaborative environment where everyone is encouraged to share ideas and support one another. My colleagues are not just great professionals; they're also supportive people who make every day at work more enjoyable.
I appreciate the opportunities for continuous learning and professional development. I feel valued and respected, and I'm excited to continue growing with the company".

No incentive to produce in a high volume environment. Poor communication from management. Management takes no accountability/responsibility and quickly lays blame on current and former employees.  Highly toxic work environment, the most toxic work culture I have ever been a part of. The greatest part about this job is that the other field supers will provide you support and almost every super gets along. Original expectations of field supers was advertised as 25-35 homes and now expectations have doubled and in some cases tripled with no raises/promotions in sight. Some supers carrying as many as 125 homes. This is a chew you up and spit you out career at this company. This should be considered a stepping stone to get you to where you really want to work. 

I’ve worked in construction since 2007 with and for a lot of different companies and industries. Leola Construction is, hands down, the best company to work for or with in the shell category. We can’t please everyone, but my loyalty comes the the growth they have given me. Not just a promotion or a raise, they’ve invested time and money into making me a better person for myself, for my personal life and of course for my professional life. If you come here with an open mind and a positive teamwork approach, you will have unlimited success and achievement here. Management requires us to work at a high level because we are winners and we are capable of it. We are compensated well for our contributions to the team. We are a family and we overcome obstacles by working together. I highly recommend this company. 

They’re make you carry a lot of 6” block, pipes and concrete beams and you are hired as superintendent. Concrete supplies call at 4:30 am to confirm they can release the truck but you are hired to start working at 8:00am.
The owner bragged about family business principles and how he’s always hear both sides of the history, but is all lies if one of the area managers get caught by a superintendent  doing something wrong and trust me they do all the time they go straight to Sal’s the owner and your fired no questions ask.
They give old vehicles so you don’t want to call the office all the time complaining about problems with your truck.

Overall it's a stepping stone position. They train you to pass inspections and after that they let you figure it out on your own. The company is overstaffed and are laying people off left and right, most guys get called into the office to have their "ipads and iPhones looked at" when in reality they're about to get laid off. If you live far away from the job site they'll let you go to save on gas expenses. Be ready to get yelled at by builders, subcontractors and your supervisors. Lastly, there is no work life balance. Make sure you're ok with your phone ringing at 4 AM when there's an issue with concrete pours and after hours and into the night when subs or builders have issues. I'd look elsewhere for employment if you're looking for something stabile and permanent. 

I have been at Leola Construction for several years, and have learned so much about not only myself personally, but myself as a young professional. My manager challenges me to learn new things, and encourages me as I grow. Management also works hard to learn about the strengths of each employee, to ensure the best person is in the best position for them to succeed.

While we do work hard, we also have a lot of fun around the office. Birthday parties, lunches, potlucks, and dress down days for holidays happen monthly. We have a committee at Leola that plans activities for office staff, and managers individually will plan fun things too. 

Leola is a great place to work, especially for people looking for a fun and faced paced environment. 

A typical day at work looks is based around construction accounting and supportive functions in the office. I've learned a lot about construction, accounting, excel, different software, business in general. Management is fine, I think we have a decent work culture. The people here are nice, and everyone works together well. I enjoy being around my coworkers. The hardest part of this job is the speed of construction at times and keeping up. Construction moves fast so not everyone is comfortable working at that pace but if you are it keeps things interesting. Most enjoyable part of my job is accomplishing tasks, being around good coworkers, insurance is better this year and getting paid weekly is nice.
