Ram Construction Services

In the road construction business, you learn something new everyday. I had prior experience coming to Ram.
The company has an all in all great team leadership.. to get the job done in a timely manner and done right the first time.
Through out the process of being an employee, I have had training and safety meetings to make my job safe and everyone around me safe.
Our management team stays on top of every job and are on call with us anytime we need them.
On most typical jobs we have a 4 man crew and we are  all responsible for our part of the job to make it run smoothly, and it does 90% of the the time. ( unless machinery breaks down) 
Ram Construction has been a great job for me. I hope to work for Ram until retirement. 
The company is a very reliable upstanding company that works with you, not against you.  Most companies make promises they do not keep. RAM does not.

You get your schedule for the week on the night before you start working. You never know how long you'll be somewhere. 

Hours range from 8-10 hours per day. Rain days occur every month usually. I had to drive 100s of miles per day sometimes 2-3 hour drives to and from the job site. If it is around 100 miles or more then they pay you $20 per hour for those drives.

You can stay in hotels if required and that's all paid. Plus you get a per diem allowance. It's not bad pay at all, just disorganized, slow paced most of the time, and you work with people who sometimes don't do what they're supposed to do. So, jobs take longer.

Overall, it's good for inexperienced workers but be prepared to get thrown all over the place. And experienced workers get more say in where they go and what they do.

Every day was different. My main priority was to get the invoices out in a timely manner. I processed & maintained all HR papers & files, interviewed & trained new hires. Processed all accounting, licenses, permits, contracts & confidential documents. Every morning I ran open & closed contract reports that showed exact final cost. I made sure that all office equipment was on & working, checked all supplies, including apparel for the crews. My co-workers were great, every one of them have the same strong work ethic I do. The hardest part of my job was having to travel to the corporate office in Michigan because of the long drive. What I enjoyed most about my job was that every day was different & fast paced.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Can’t say there is a best part.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Being told we have a ton of work, but can’t get placed at a site! Trying to be proactive and instead of waiting to be  contacted about work availability, you reach out, but only to be made like your being ignored, because you go days without having your calls or messages returned and when you finally do, your then made to feel like you’re a bother and an inconvenience. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
A complete and utter SH#T  SHOW!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Hoping you’ll finally get called about work after going this last entire last summer without being placed!

I am not fully confident I made the right move to come to RAM construction.  I am continually told how much I am paid leaving out the Senior Level experience and what the market actually bears for a like and kind position.  Life work family balance is not at all valued.  Turn over is beyond eye opening.  Estimators/PMs do not last here long on their own accord after they learn about what RAM is really about

They run this place like a Walmart! They pay you little all while wanting you to do your job and add more to your list. Management will run you ragged, Give you little to no help completing large job orders and after putting hard work in they offer or give you excuses why they can’t give you a raise that you deserve.  It’s a huge let down that upper management don’t take the time to let their employees know how grateful they are, I mean does is hurt to shake a hand and say thank you? I worked here and will never look back or even mention I worked at RAM except this one last time 😅

What is the best part of working at the company?
Experience.  Sue was the best trainer ever. Team at Broadview was the best.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Location during snow storms was a challenge for me. Got laid off Covid

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very fast paced. Strictly biz.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busy. This is a very fast paced environment of lien waivers contracts payroll travel agenda dictations blueprints, specs, etc. Administrators do not get paid nearly enough for the demand.

No matter how much effort a person puts in, not good enough. Pay is insignificant, appreciation is non-existent. A lot is spoken about up front but nothing transpires. Some office employees are very toxic with no reprecussions. 

Humans make mistakes. Part of being human... unless you work here. As said in other reviews, there is a reason for the massive hiring every year. Outstanding benefits are necessary because the stress will kill you. I would seriously think twice before I applied if you are not perfect within an extremely fast pace environment. If you have a thin skin and take offense at swearing this is not the place for you. 

I've been working at RAM for almost 6 years, and I can honestly say that the culture is changing from the office to the field. Management has a few new members that are pushing for more positive changes. The leaders of RAM always prioritize the integrity of our estimates and the safety and well-being of our skilled tradespeople. The dress code is super casual, benefits are great, and there's a lot of room for growth.
