Power Construction

I've found my family here at Power! My coworkers are all incredibly talented and intelligent, and the employees here really do their work in ways that clearly reflect the company's values (do the right thing, relationships matter, find a better way, etc.)! For those coming into the construction industry for the first time, the environment can feel a bit more "old-school" than other workplaces - this is balanced for me by the feeling that the company is constantly evolving and I'm encouraged to implement and try new ways of doing things. 

In the coming months and years, I hope that Power will continue to benchmark salaries for their office staff to keep compensation competitive - the operations side is certainly on par, but I've noticed turnover on the office side usually can be attributed at least partially to less competitive compensation given how successful the company is. I also would like to see it made clearer how bonus' are tied to the formal review process. 

Power's benefits are really comprehensive. The only room I see for improvement is adding additional PTO - especially at the entry level, it could make them more competitive and help with work/life balance. 

The biggest culture shift I hope to see at Power is in DEI - there are VP's, members of leadership and employees who are really driving the company's growth via community outreach and training. Construction has traditionally been an industry dominated by white men, and I see Power really leading the charge to make the industry more diverse and inclusive in an authentic and sustainable way. I think it would be even more impactful and encourage more of the white male employees to get involved if we saw more VP's and leaders get involved, learn alongside employees, and set the precedent for others.

Power Construction has been one of my favorite companies that I've worked for. The company always takes care of it's employees in every way possible. They have good mentors here and provide tools for career planning and succession. I really enjoy the events that Power puts on (annual meeting, holiday party, summer outings, summer hours, volunteer events, etc).  There is always events and activities going on that really make it a special place to work.  Power's top management is excellent and they always are true to their word - it's an open door policy no matter what your role or level is. They live by the motto "work hard, play hard".  It was nice to be surrounded by extremely competent people who were committed to the business and industry.

If you are reading this review then you are concidering a career at Power Construction. I personally was with them for 8 years and loved every minute. The owner is a great businessman as well as being a great person. The entire staff is so easy to get along with. You'll be part of a workplace and a part of a family. Everyone works together as a team to ensure success for all and to help the business become bigger and stronger.  It's a very upbeat and friendly company. Good luck!!! Hope you get the job.

Toxic work environment, unprofessional employees and employers. No benefits, No PPO provided, No vacation time, Delays on payday, No direct deposit, Taxes checks more than usual, Unprofessional Contractors, Never guaranteed 35 hour weeks. Always waiting on materials or a blueprint, Far Travel with no company vehicle or Gas card, No raises. 

Workplace was vary demanding.  I love the challenge of getting a job done on time and under budget.  I did not like the manager above me as he did not incorporate me into important decision making factors that effected my knowledge of the job and held me back so I could not make connections with upper management.

The managers and supervisors try their best to keep work at a steady pace. They are really focused on safety as the main priority, which makes the jobsite much safer for all the employees. Management is good and the work environment is anywhere from slow paced easy to dangerous and fast.

While some managers will take time out to care about you and your future. There are some that will be purely out for themselves and will not even think to change their schedule in order to help with your success. While the company as a whole is great to work for, depending on who you deal with your experiences will change drastically.

Currently interning in their IT department. Great group of people and the overall company culture is fantastic. The management in the IT department, and the director really care about giving meaningful guidance.

The decision to go national has definitely changed things. As more VPs have been added and markets expanded, definitely started to feel more tribal than a single unified company. Seems to matter more who you're reporting to than the work you're doing when it comes to year end.

I actually enjoyed working for this company, gave me great experience with the opportunity they gave me. Met some great people who gave me sound advice for working in the construction field
