What is the best part of working at the company?
The benefits are great and they don't take an arm and a leg out of my paychecks. I have been with the company for almost two and a half years now and I have not had any bad experiences. My only complaint is that as a Hourly employee we don't get paid holidays. The pay is great compared to other company's. They take Safety very seriously and we pride ourselves with our work. I have learned so much since I have been here and the management has been extremely supportive with my growth and are helping me so I can progress into a higher position.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
My only complaint is the non paid holidays

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Extremely friendly and team work is huge. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Every morning the team meets up we do a brief safety brief and go over the THS and the daily work plan everybody participates in a team stretch and flex exercise load up our gear and head to our job site teamwork is healthy and the supervisors are always willing to help to benefit the success. I'm very proud to be apart of such a great company.

It is a construction job so the hours are long and the pay is not great. They tell you all about the bonus program they have before you start and make it seem like you can get 10%-30% of your salary worth of cash but in reality you would be lucky if you got 2% and that's if you even get one. They don't pay out until the job is completly done and the money for the bonus is put into a bucket at the begging of the job but they don't put enough money in. So even if your job got 100% of its fee and did really well you still wouldn't get your full target bonus because they don't put enough money in it. There are also lots and lots of just little things between safety, training, side projects, equipment, etc. they make you do which takes away from the job. All the little things add up and they just keep giving you more. The people you work with are cool and for the most part they all want to do a good job. They expect you to work long hours which is pretty normal but they definitely aren't as bad as other places. If the pay was higher, not so many side projects and management let you actually run the job it would be a really good place to work. I give it 5-6/10

You really don't have a life outside working here. You work 6 days a week, 10 hours a day. The management definitely plays favoritism, certain people get certain privileges. They don't like for you to take days off for doctors appointments or personal reasons. Once a job finishes you really don't know if you will go to the next job or not so it's best to have a back up plan. Also it doesn't matter how much experience or seniority you have that doesn't guarantee you will go to the next job once they finish the job you are working on, they will pick someone new with no experience just because they suck up to management. They say that you can move up in the company,, but in all honesty you can't. If you want to learn new things they won't let you. These are all true statements that I have personally experienced. Definitely RUN from this place!!

A typical day at the is job would be being thee at 6:30 am. I would make sure everyone has all there safety gear to work for the day. Safety gloves, hats, glasses, vest (PPE). I would fill up coolers and make sure everyone has water through the day. I then would gather all the information on the things that need to be order and do my research. I would get quotes on pricing form different venders that we use and choose the best price and the quickest we needed it to order from the right company. After I made my selection I would write up a purchase order, get the supervisor to go over it and agree to it and sign it then I would make the initial purchase. I answered phone calls and emails through the day. I would get things ready for meetings and assist all office personal with anything they need. Weather it be running earns, making spreadsheets, making copies, putting together binders and filing.

Archer Western is a construction company all over the US. I worked at a waste water treatment plant in Baltimore, Maryland. I was the safety intern in the summer of 2015. I learned a vast amount of things that really opened my eyes from anything that I have learned about in school. The hands on experience enabled me to learn in depth of how a construction site really functions. The hardest part of my job was communicating with others who spoke a different language. There was a very obvious language barrier from English and Spanish that we had to deal with throughout the summer. I tried learning Spanish over the summer from bilingual coworkers and self teaching methods to help form a solution. The best part of my job was indeed finding these solutions. Once I saw the problem in front of me, it made me motivated to actually try to solve it! I was able to create slight bridge between our rifts during the short amount of time I was there!

Room for advancement for self starters and guys who show up on time with a can do additude. It's a treat you like family atmosphere with several safety policies in place to keep everyone safe and going home to there loved ones each day . They pay extremely well and with that comes high expectations but always play team ball tackling tasks as a group and very supportive in ensuring you have all safety equipment and proper training to be as safe and efficient as possible. There safety equipment is only the best there upper management is fair yet stern . Expect 10-15 thousand dollars in overtime a year mostly voluntary on big projects.


I would start off in my diesel truck & top off all equipment that used diesel (loaders, excavators, cranes, dozers, water pumps, generators, concrete saws, etc.). But would almost always get stopped because there was a great need for water (levee, road, & masonry work). The hardest part of my job was that I would jump in & out of water & fuel truck until entire job site was satisfied. When I was caught up I would perform maintenance on construction equipment & vehicle fleets (oil change, lube, battery change, flat tire service, fluid exchange, etc.) Levee work consisted mostly of dust control & fuel delivery. I learned that there is always something to learn & all something to do on a construction job site. I learned how to multi task in the greatest facet. The look on my co workers face when I pulled up in my water/fuel truck was priceless, knowing that my presence would help them complete their job.

Typical day at work begins with meeting with the crews and going over today's activities, safety, quality and goals. Then the day consist of various project management activities. Long work days but they go by quickly with the amount of work load. Learned you have to choose what task are of greater importance and knock those out first. Management is pretty clear on what they want out of you and as long as you are meeting their requirements they won't micro-manage you. The hardest part of the job is really balancing all the day to day tasks. New requests or tasks pop up daily so getting things done while you can is essential. The most enjoyable part of the job is seeing the end product. Seeing the final result of what you have worked so hard for. I also enjoy the mechanical processes and getting to test and start up new equipment.

a typical day at work started the same everyday the foreman would come on to the job site and would give us the plan for the day but for the most part everybody on the crew knew what need to be done team work helped out so much when you got right group of guys people you can trust it goes a long way.management was good they always put safety first production second because if workers are not safe it hurts production the. there were really no hard parts about the job just things you didn't enjoy doing like crawling around in the mud or sinking down to your hips in mud that was the only i didn't like about the job but for the most part it was easy.The part i liked about the job was climbing the leads on the hammer when you have a one hundred foot pile and you have to climb to the top that was the part i enjoyed
