Place Services, Inc.

If you are willing to take initiative, be a team player, be flexible, and work hard, you can have an opportunity to really contribute to something larger than yourself at PSI.  PSI's core is a team of people who are not there just to get a paycheck, but to build a quality company and live up to the company mission of building a company by building its people, with uncommon integrity. PSI expects a lot but gives a lot too.

One of the best parts of working for PSI was the opportunity to build on my strengths. I was able to start in a lower level position and gradually build into a better position by learning, being interested in what was going on around me, and taking initiative to learn new things and come up with new ideas.  I highly recommend PSI.  The ownership is committed to honesty and fairness.  If anyone has a problem, the door is open at the top.   

This all might sound like company propaganda, but it's really my experience. I really liked working with the people at Place Services because people were always willing to chip in and help each other even if something didn't match their job description. PSI has a good family culture. The annual company party is a good example: no drinking or carousing, but some good comedy for the kids and adults, and all around family fun. 

PSI's old office was a crowded work environment but the new office should be much more spacious.

What is the best part of working at the company?
While I was only  employed by Place for a short while, the people there are some of the best you can work with. Gabriel Place was likely the best boss I've ever had. He was fair and very honest. For the right person this is a great place to work.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I found the only stress acclimated with my job was that I transitioned from a Superintendent role to an Estimator position. As a Superintendent my daily activities were in the field, as an Estimator I was bound to a desk. This was a huge change for me and not entirely what I was looking for. Gabriel Place was very understanding and we parted ways. This says more about my inability to transition into an office posistion than it does about Place Services. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The environment was relaxed, friendly and inviting. Couldn't ask for a better group of co-workers. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
My typical day was insanely boring. I say that because I wasn't used to being relocated to a desk and a computer. My boredom was not the fault of the employer.

PSI is fast paced construction company. It requires you to be independent and a self starter. I have learned more on how to manage my time and my tasks as well as asking for help from my co-workers, when needed. The management team here is very supportive. Everyone from Human Resources to the General Managers of other Divisions to Troy Place are always there to help and guide you. It's not often that you truly find the open door policy actually used, but here it is. The hardest part of the job is meeting my own expectations in helping the company succeed. We can all see the vast amount of potential that PSI has and as a team we want to see PSI achieve that potential and surpass it. The best part of this job is that even as we grow it has not lost the family atmosphere. We all feel as we are all part of one big family. Sometimes, we may bicker or squabble like siblings, but at the end of the day we all work together as one. PSI is more than just a construction company, it is a place that you can come to work to learn, smile, laugh, sometimes get upset, but overall get up in the morning and enjoy going to work. That to me makes it a Happy Place to be.

Place Services Inc. is a great place for beginners and allows you the opportunity to advance after honing several months or years of experience. Although, in some instances the manager should be more selective w/ the position placement - I've realized people come here with intentions of career and workplace longevity which is important. There's plenty of room for improvement in terms of how employees gain education due to continuing education not being offered. However, I feel that you're considered for a promotion if you show eagerness and (figuratively) pay your dues. I feel there are many happy employees here although some have personally expressed some reservations, overall individuals seem happy. If I could change one thing it would be mandatory meetings per division and employee assessments as it's become clear to me some employees are not as invested and hands-on as others. It's unfair to the team when there's lack of knowledge and communication concerning projects as it impacts the team and most importantly, the reputation of the company when it's recurring.

I have been working at Place Services for over 3 years now and I can honestly say that it is one of the best companies that I have ever had the pleasure to work for.  A typical day is working in a fast paced environment where you are always challenged and learning new things.  I prefer to work somewhere where I stay busy and feel like I am able to learn and grow in my area of expertise.  The Management here is phenomenal and truly cares about their employees.  The culture here is great and it feels like family when you come to work, and for a large corporation, it is great to still have that family feel. The hardest and also best part of the job is the fast paced environment.  It makes each day a challenge and occasionally calls for long hours, but you are always growing and busy, which is an environment that I thrive in. If you are a dedicated and hard worker who want to feel valued and have continued growth, you will not be disappointed if you begin a career here at Place Services.

As long as you're not working in the accounting department, your job is safe and secure. The nepotism is ridiculous. To have three family members working in the same department is damaging. Especially when they are the reason for the high turnover rate. When you cant keep employees, it's time to start looking at the reason why. None of them are fit for management yet they wont allow anyone else to move up unless there are other family members attached to the company (whether it's the same department or another department) then and only then will you see a promotion. The owner is a great guy but I would advise him to look into his accounting department as a whole to see where the problems lie. All of the divisions dread working with anyone in accounting and all the drama and rumors stem from that department. I witnessed first hand what they're capable of.

What is the best part of working at the company?
All the things they tell you when you are hired are true . They really do do everything possible for you to succeed. They are the best Place to work !

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The same as it is nowadays at every construction site , dealing with the  labor issues and lack of qualified help

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It’s said all the time but in this case it’s true Place really is family.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
The only thing typical about being a night Superintendent is the time you start work .Each day presents itself with a new set of opportunities and challenges along with being on a compressed schedule, most nights are not that typical. That’s a typical day or night .

The plumbing division manager is absolutely the worst boss I've ever worked for. Will say one thing one day and a contradictory thing the next day. Very unorganized in the way the plumbing division is ran and the lack of proper leadership is evident by the extremely high estimating turn over rate at this company. It flew up a red flag for me when a company has gone through 5 ( me included) estimators in less than 2 years. I honestly feel bad if a company can't see an issue with an "upper" level employee being the only office worker in their division and being unable to retain any workers. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Your pay and benefits are decent. Their 401k matching is great. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Meeting your deadlines in the accounting department. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The accounting dept is nepotism at its finest.  The controller, assistant controller and accounts receivable manager are related. If you are a friend or family member you will be fine, if not watch your back.  I was given 4’s on my review an 5 is the highest rating you can get  and two weeks later was told I was not a good fit for the position.   After I was let go, I found out they had interviewed a friend of my manager and hired her.

This is by far the best place I have worked. All the people I work with are great, everyone is understanding of uncontrollable situations (such as emergencies & being sick.) The hardest part of the job, is how fast-paced & busy it can get, due to how quickly the business is growing. Although, it might get hard, there will always be someone or even a group of people that have your back and will do anything they can to make sure you get everything handled. I have been treated like family since day one, and whenever you need a hand whether it be in the office or in your personal life, you will always have someone there for you. We all go out of our way to take care of our own. I look forward to waking up and coming into work everyday, and that's not something I've been able to say before.
