Mirra Construction

A small family company that grew and have been trying to shift to a more structured mid-sized organization for the past decade with many growing pains.

Organizationally they are disorganized and you never know who is responsible for what. Departments are very tribal and never really communicate with each other. With upper management separated from the other department managers it's all too common to encounter situations where the left hand doesn't know what the right is doing. Upper management is also wholly unprepared to run a business in the 21st century and can be reactionary towards an ever changing industry. Training for management roles is non-existent and it's up to you to feel your way into your role.  Promotion feels more based on seniority and personality than ability. Very insular in general with company employees regularly being a cousin or family friend. Upper management can also be a bit erratic and controlling around large or specific projects oftentimes undermining the autonomy of mid level and senior project managers.  Bid reviews have no structure and feel more like a discussion to get to a certain price point than an actual review of a project conditions and the labor and material costs allocated to the work.  It's also no secret they regularly expect weekend work and overtime hours from salaried employees. Local file server is a complete mess. Overall just a disappointment.

Mirra is a great place to get your toes wet in the field of construction. However there is far too much upper management and people with their hands in the pot. This often makes the jobs unorganized and you often have to re-do work because they will change the plans after your crew has completed them, which is very frustrating of course. And this compiled with the severe lack of communication between rhe plethora of management positions they have with the crews in the field doing the job make it harder to complete jobs; its like a demented game of telephone with the upper management. I will say again, its good to get your feet wet and if you like this type of work, but be prepared for the lack of communication micromanaging of management.

at the time , a decade ago many men DID NOT want me there, it was a slap in the face that a woman was doing their job, so most were less than happy. NEVER any harassment but it was visually obvious, it was the time of beginning  Equality for woman in that type of environment. I personally love that physicality of work. but now I'm a single mom, so I cannot afford o get injured, or worse.

Worked there for 3 years and gave this company every drop of blood, sweat and tears I had. Moved up ladder swiftly. Endless overtime if you could produce work and are good at your job, amazing pay and good atmosphere. Company was like family and thankful for opportunities given. In the end though, just another number. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great co-workers, investment in training, tools, and equipment. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Schedule, but that's an industry wide problem.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Fast paced environment.
Safety never an issue

This is a rare company where all employees are treated with dignity. Upper management and even the owner are willing to back up the workers in the field should their be any potential safety issues that may occur. They really put safety and the well-being of their employees first, especially with regular safety training.

new job every day always learning something new crews work well together except for the infant minded men that occasionally forget they are professionals and talk down on people like they wont get fired for doing it if it is brought up to management.

Don't work here thinking you will move up. They will hire and let you go as soon as a job is done if needed. They do not value employees. 

There is a reason they are ALWAYS hireing. They will replace you with someone cheaper  per hour. Or even no experience. 

DO NOT TRUST MANAGEMENT 

I learned Mirra Co. Inc. has over 60 years’ experience working in tight urban areas. The employees excel in working amid aging infrastructure and existing utilities. All work and restoration is done utilizing ongoing and continuing safety training.Was very happy and impressed

Horrible place to work there is no loyalty or respect for employees your just a number that can be replaced. They don’t accommodate or try to resolve any issues that you have would rather just show you the door.
