Redwood-Construction

The environment here at Redwood is so toxic. You’re to report to a certain manager but that manager will put one of your own teammates “in charge” of you and that person will then report back false things to your manager to ensure their job is secured so you look bad. Your manager will also not speak to you about these false claims or try build a relationship with you because they don’t really care about getting to know anyone they hire. They will send you an email and you’ll be blindsided and confused as to why you’re receiving this certain email. I’ve never in my life experienced so much drama in a workplace, in such a short time of working somewhere. They also monitor everything you do here. No trust or no open communication, they would rather not hear about any complaints so don’t believe the whole “we’re a family” line they feed you in your interview. It all makes sense now why they don’t attach any of their job postings to the actual name of the company…

After my interview with this company I was sure this was my dream job.  After the first week it turned out to be a nightmare.  Talk about pressure the first week in.  It seems as if new people are brought to this company and dropped into the middle of a war zone between two companies that are actually the same company. You have to have a thick skin right away because the disrespect is Real. If you speak up, your ignored and disrespected. They expect you to perform a miracle when they have not paid Any of their accounts or vendors.  The owners are rude, and unfriendly.   Unbelievable is all I can say and good reddens!

There are some people that work for this company that are truly good people to work with/for. Some of the individuals that you interact with have absolutely no business dealing with people. The majority of the people you interact with are very good people to work with.

If you are hired you will have no training, you will be expected to know all aspects of the company operations right off the bat. You will be expected to know everything right off the bat. The corporate team has a way different scope then what is given. They will have contracts that you have no idea about and will be expected to have answers regarding those.

I worked here for a little over one year (my shortest tenure at any job I've held). The position required a lot of travel and the company was very fast paced - too fast to even meet a deadline. Management talked down to employees and there was a severe lack of professionalism. I loved that I didn't have a commute but the long hours and overwhelming workload were not worth it.

Overall it's a very political atmosphere. The pace is furious and it's very hard to retain good subcontractors as the home office in California is severely understaffed and has a hard time paying subs.
Also beware of any conversation started by upper management that goes: "..I'm selling you the dream here.." Meaning it's just empty promises of future advancement.

This company has an internal, top down, leadership and communication problem. The overall culture in negative and pressure-based.
