NABHOLZ

In my 28 years of experience in the contracting and construction industry, I have worked for 3 GC's and 2 specialties contractors and Nabholz has been by far the best company I have worked for. I have been part of the project team on unique projects you just don't have an opportunity to build at most other GC firms. The teams here have been great and the access to the company leadership and their transparency is the best I've experienced. This company is growing and when a job position opens up or new positions are created current employees are given first shot to apply for those positions. I started here as a steel erector, onsite everyday with my tools on. I've moved through several positions and into a project manager position and I've been treated as a valuable member of the team the whole way through.

I come to work and I answer the phones, run invoices through Timberline Accounting. Then I assist all managers with anything that they may need my help with for individual jobs. I help set up jobs in Timberline, Also I make sure that subcontractors have correct insurance certificates for each individual job that they are performing on. When the mail comes in, I sort and deliver the mail to each individual in the office. Then I prepare that days invoices for the IR the next day. I have learned a lot about the construction management business and office programs that exist. Most of my coworkers are great and would like to see me succeed and do great things. The hardest part about my job was learning the new programs that I would be working with, but now that I have a good understanding of them I do not have a problem. To me the most enjoyable time of my position at this company was that of getting to have the comrodery with others. I enjoyed working beside several of my bosses who I gain a friendship with.

Human Resources will make or break the time you have at Nabholz. Out of all the companies I have worked for, this is by far the worst HR department. They treat you like a number, very hateful, the head lady is a very negative person and is also one of the VPs of the company. If something negative happens on the job site, I would never feel comfortable coming to them. I would rather hide it under the rug. Compensation does not meet what you do everyday and does not meet what you’ll make at other jobs. However, they have great insurance and retirement. I loved everyone that wasn’t Human Resources honestly. They are good people. They just need to keep up with the salary increases happening every year and start over on the HR department.

In Arkansas' construction industry, Nabholz Construction is one of the leading company's in the industry.  They strive to take care of the needs of their employees and their families.  Safety first has been their motto since 1949 and it is emphasized throughout the company.  Incentives are offered for safety and health.  Wellness clinics are provided to the employees and their spouses at no charge twice a year.  Managing employees can be difficult, but the teams that have been put into place, will simply astound you.  I never thought I could enjoy a job this much.

People and managers deliberately try and fire people based solely off of likeablity and not off work capabilities. There managers don’t get clear direct instructions and then put people unsafe equipment. And if you bring safety up to management they ignore and lie about the reason for not fixing the safety issues. When you move up the ladder and bring safety up to safety officer they proceed to fire or force them to quite blame it on lack of skill. This company has 0 intergrity! 

Great company overall but poor leadership. EVP will micro manage you to the point he’s calling all the shots but lacks all the appropriate Information to be able to make a sound decision. Then when that goes south he’ll deflect to you as if it was your fault. Toll leave daily knowing the managment is unapproachable unless you’re one of the good  ol boys…(former employee of GE Johnson).
This particular office focuses on golf events, outting and lunch than they do about the projects. The anger projected towards the employees is ridiculous. 

I love it.  It really is a family atmosphere, I even had management from NWA who came down for a meeting or something wait around to for me to get to the office to introduce themselves.  Everything might not be perfect but they will never not try to make it perfect and I can work with that compared to my last company.  Great benefits, all kinds of employee supported emergency funds and savings plus the actual health insurance and 401K.   

Typically a work day with them was they set you somewhere and expected you to do it even if you told them you needed training on it. I learned very little, they refused to train me. The management team thought that they were better than everyone. The workplace culture was bad. They have no regards for the employees.
the hardest part of the job was figuring things out on my own, the distrust of others, they have selfish behaviors. The most enjoyable part of the job was getting out of there after 14 hours or more of work.
