PC Construction Company

A typical day working on An industrial project as a General foreman was gathering all foreman and crews and reviewing all task to be performed from Safety piont of view, any concerns, special materials os PPE required then go to work constructing. Everyone would learn the multitude of information, techneces from engineered drawings and other co-workers with past expierences of performing the same type work. Everyday you would go throught work completeing more task and maybe from a diferent page from the engineered plans keeping all your foremans crews working safely and productive. And then you finish and you can look back and admire the product of all your hard work.

Up until 2018, things at PC were great.   We had an enthusiastic leader who cared deeply about people.   We had an awesome culture, filled with energy and optimism.   Then there were financial struggles and bad jobs.  Thin profit margins also didn't help.   Over and over bad decisions were made at the top that added up (not in a good way).   From January 2018 to now there have been 3 CEOs and changes at the executive level.   That type of leadership change produced whiplash and disruption because every leader wanted to fix the mistakes of those who came before with new initiatives and strategies.   For everyone else trying to keep up, it was disorienting.

Long hours of standing in the HOT heat directing traffic. Unless driving pilot car for 12 hours back and fourth leading cars thru road construction. With 4 15 min breaks and an hour lunch. 
What I believed I learned thru them long hot days of working,  I learned a lot of patience, I learned that a long days work pays off very well. I learned that I won't starve lol
Management was decent can't complain. 
Work place culture was interesting and cool to have learned. The hardest part of the job was having to stand in one place for the entire 12 hour day in the hot hot sun 🌞  the most enjoyable part was being able to sometime switch up and get to drive pilot car the end of my day shift. And the last hour or two knowing that I've accomplished another day down. 

A typical day was very busy, always many tasks to complete. Learned management, planing, and many other jobs. The management was real good to work for, tough but fair and changed on each project.
I liked most of my co-workers. There were some i did not see eye to eye with but for the most part, i got along with all of them.
The hardest part was starting a new project. Having to start over and learn what the customer wants and what the architect designed.
The most enjoyable part was in the middle of a project when everyone learned each other and worked well together. When i got to work with co-workers on more than one project we worked really good and got jobs done a lot faster than when working with someone for the first time.

Not being able to communicate efficiently with everyone around you.

Everybody is very friendly and happy go lucky when you start, but a few weeks in and you start staying sick and then management gets on to you.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful, and you hear the same whining everyday, instead of management taking steps for people to grow,you get setup to fail and everybody will let you know.

PC Construction paid me well but the work was very stressful because of poorly managed jobs.  So many times we would have to do the same task 2 to 3 times because everything was so rushed and no communication.  They have no disregard for the sub contractors and just bully them.  They offered alot of overtime but also expected you to work if it was available. 
Several months I worked 60+ hours a week and they would be upset if I said I was unavailable.  Ultimately I left because I couldn't handle the poor management and attitude of how projects should be completed.

Worked for almost 4 years, Maine management is lost most of the time. Has to call main office in Vermont to find out what needs to be done. Nobody discusses anything. Worst run company I've ever seen. Management only cares about who's to blame for anything, spin it so it isn't their fault why jobs are losing money. Once a job starts losing money, nobody has a clue how to get it back on track. Supposed to be profit sharing & only saw $250 in the whole time I was there. Got an automatic raise this year....a whole $.36. Only good thing there is the PTO.
