The Christman Company

Good Retirement, below average pay. Internal management is basically non-existent, which could be good or bad depending on how you look at it. Internal structure is very flat. Project assignments are random and experience does not play into decisions.  Promotions and raises are mostly time based and not merit. Bonuses are more merit based. Work life balance is hard and management will work you to the bone if you let them. They just announced they're trying to make more profit per person, which means making more money (for the company) with less people. If you're single and want to gain experience and don't mind working 10+ hour days then it's ok. 

Christman bought out my previous company. Employees were denied annual raises, promised management promotions, and now have to use personal time off if exposed to covid at work and if the company does not provide work. Working at the hospital were were never given hazard pay when exposed to covid all day and expected to cancel any family plans at anytime that it becomes an inconvenience to them. Due to the poor leadership you have a lot of down time and uncertainty about job security especially  after a layoff that we were told wouldn't happen. You are required to do the jobs of the management plus your own.  The fellow employees have come to understand the culture of the leadership and always expect the worst.  Now I understand why. 

Don't believe what they say when it comes to being hired on. Their word has no bond and they have no compitilation whatsoever of breqching a contract. At first they'll use a temp agency to bring you in and then when you have completed all your hours there will be no higher and no review. And if you have other problems with other employees causing a hostile working environment upper management will do absolutely nothing except shoot the messenger. This is not an asset to anyone's organization it's a liability. A  waste of a time, money and patiemce. They're an insult to the industry. Sadly, many Gemeral Contractors have taken on this very same demeanor.

A typical day included pick up and delivery of mail and shipping of packages, answering telephones, typing, filing, cost coding invoices, preparing meeting minutes and distribution, copying and scanning, issuing and receiving change orders and assisting all office personnel with any additional work activities required.
On projects you are around people who have very different personalities. It can be fun yet challenging to get to know the differences in people and learn how to work with each individual as a team.

I enjoy my job as a safety manager with Christman, not only to grow my company and ensure that we are fulfilling our duty to protect workers, but also to train and coach and have the ability to grow our safety culture and build those relationships with subcontractors as well as my team.

Great place to work. Lots of guys there will to teach you. The lady's in the office always willing to help you with paperwork. They are about family life. Whice is nice. 

MY time at this company was a challenge but there was always co-worker to pitch in and help to make sure you knew the stuff around... The staff was very friendly and they lived for the open door communication. Everybody pitch in when it came to deadlines.

Christman is a very productive and professional company. They have great benefits with an employee stock option plan. They will help you learn the trade and the company. The only problem I had with them is actually obtaining everything I needed to get paid for mileage and things like that. 

Learned alot & was able to train others,consistant work,nice group of coworkers ,management was very good at explaining what the duties were at each job site,had safety meetings as required,the company overall allowed me to learn more about the commercial building industry,
