Ralph L. Wadsworth Construction

Was good hard honest work but kind of had strain myself a bit to keep up with experienced crew really didn’t have time for training but didn’t complain did what I was supposed to but really wasn’t trained to operate equipment such as a excavator/driller but I understand it’s very expensive equipment that can easily be damaged by a simple mistake in miss judging much force is needed to drill at certain depth. All in all wasn’t paid as much as the other crew was being paid as well as other laborers at the work site, but crew boss told me I’d be making Davis Bacon wages but was only making $18 an hour felt that dirty and unfair. Plus I had a worksite injury, broke my ankle no paid leave was only given lite duty by just standing around at the worksite which I didn’t mind but had to pay my own x-ray bill and wasn’t really covered by ralph l wadsworth. Felt cheated by company on pay and compensation for injury.

What is the best part of working at the company?
This is a Good Company to work for if you if you like long hours and like to travel away for Months on end. Pay is decent but long days and nights no breaks maybe a lunch if your lucky. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone without experience. They do not train. Hard work and dedication just are not enough to make it here. I put my heart and soul into this company just to be told when they get slow gotta let you go. Frown on you getting unemployment while laid off. Will not rehire if you do. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Working away from home Months at a time and not being be respected for all your hard work. If another superintendent doesn’t like you and they have enough guys they oust you. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Teams are already set out and if you don’t fit in they will move you around. No room for growth max out at carpenter without 4 year degree 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Work hard no break maybe a lunch here and there. Required to work late and weekends

You are expected to put in ten hour days 5 days a week regardless if there is work to be done. Getting time off is a joke the management will find a reason or project to keep you at work and not approve the time off.  Career advancement is hard to come by you will never meet the goals set by management which results in a reason to keep you at the same level.  The management is primarily younger so there is no where to go. There is no work life balance at this company. In the eyes of management the company should be priority and they often hint about this in performance reviews.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Was meeting upper management and the people that hired me over the phone

Was 95% of the equipment operators were premadonas and couldn’t even grease there own equipment. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Culture was not good for fuel truck driver. Equipment operators were treated great by foreman and one superintendent

Their work was real scabby, but in a majoritarianism  and no break. Management hierarchy lacked real respect for new positions involved and passed the buck down the next level with any promised items or requests. Plus benefits were out the window once they hooked you. Culture was Colorado construction that scabbed out to fit a model from somewhere else with no real trades man identity.  The hardest part was going to the job and nothing enjoyable.

Getting a check is about the only thing upper management for the most part is a joke only a few actually do there job and help get you things you need to get the job done 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
They keep workers that don't know nothing and get ride of the workers that actually get s*** done 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Full of headache and stress doing other peoples job that they don't know how to do

As with any company, it has strengths and weaknesses.  It's a good place to work, has plenty of work for skill craft employee - always giving over time like they want (maybe not so much in winter, but that is expected for all construction companies) - rewards those that work hard and stick around, and the people are hard workers.

Management is a joke no communication right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing. You want to learn how to mess up a job this is the place. Don’t waste your time working here. They change you from day shift to nights back and forth all the time. Can’t ever plan to do things with your family they wait until the last minot tell you if your working the weekend.
