VEIT

Great company to work for. Usually long work hours when work is good, sun up to sun down. Operation of various heavy equipment or laborer duties for the task at hand that day. Maintain tools and equipment in good working order, with daily pre- and post- inspections. The company has a safety hero program set in place. Discussing potential hazards at the being of shift and moderating safety throughout the day, recognizing safe acts and unsafe procedures. To ensure the safety of all personnel. There are strict deadlines and time sensitive schedules to ultimately ensure the success and money for the company. High attention to detail is a must with site blue prints, grades, and other workers in the area. The ability to show up to work on time, adhere to the work schedule, flexible hours with traveling, is a part of day to day operations.
You must be capable of adhering to the policies and rules set forth by the Company. Problem solving and organizational skills with the ability to work under pressure, are good qualities to bring to the job site. Seeing other states and working with small groups of people I would say is the most enjoyable part of the job. Just myself am not looking to travel anymore.

Veit has done a lot of work over the past several years to become a great employer.  The management used to have some challenges, but lately, the leadership team has grown professionally, and a new President & CEO came in and made a world of difference. Some systems are outdated, but they are working on a plan to improve them.  The culture is fantastic - family feel, casual environment, and fun! Employees feel pride in what they do- you can feel it just by talking with them. Nicest people on the planet - the kind of people who would give you the shirt of their back.  This place is the real deal!  It's the best place I've ever worked!

A typical day at Veit is getting calls from Their  office every 15 mins harassing you about something you can't control. The only thing you will learn here is the true definition of micromanagement . The work culture at Veit is harassing style of culture, micromanagement is definitely a culture at Veit. The hardest part of the job is trying not to be confused by the micromanagers in the office, and the inward facing camera they watch every minute of the day.  The most enjoyable part of the job was going home at the end of the day and forgetting about this place for the night.

The co-workers I support are fun and a great team of honest, hard-working people.   The majority of us have worked together for 10+ years.      It is a well organized, productive group.

The hardest part of the job is getting to know the priorities that need to be dealt with on a daily basis when new situations arise each day that have to be taken care of.    It is a competitive, deadline driven environment.

The most enjoyable part of the job is landing a contract for a large proposal worked on by several individuals as a team.

Management at this company are the first to to tell you you are not doing your job while leaving out they do not offer any clear direction. The last 6 months that I worked here there was a very intense workplace culture. On a weekly basis people were either turning in their notice or getting let go. Management did not rehire these peoples position instead divvied out those jobs to others until some of them even left. Most of the office staff are great hard working people that are great to work with.

Some of management/dispatch are under qualified and have the “Do as I say, not as I do” attitude.  The excessive hours leave no time for family life. The amount of effort required to get time off for health related appointments was stressful. Management in my division did not know your start/finish time until that day. All the perks and benefits that made Veit a great place to work all got taken away over the last few years.  Too many senior employees that help build the company have left or were let go.  Most with 15 years plus.  Very sad!

Veit is an excellent place to work.  I learned so much as a PC.  I enjoyed the many PM's I supported.  My manager was amazing.  There was no typical day at work.  There was something new going on all the time.  The management was pretty casual.  I knew my manager was always a phone call away and he let me do my job.  The hardest part was there just didn't seem to be enough hours in a day, it was always busy, however being busy always made the days go fast.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
Toxic environment by management in the demolition department. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The management constantly berating the team. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic environment. No team atmosphere even though they pump TEAM everyday 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful and hard to focus due to the management

Good company until they couldn't get qualified help anymore. To many labor Superintendents in charge of directing equipment operators with no experience to provide example.  They couldn't get any good jobs at the the end of my employment, probably because of greed for profits. To many people were kept on that screwed up projects. they got a bad name and that's how it is. They did it to themselves.

One of the best jobs I had. If you work hard you will do well. People there are great to work with. The management really care about their employees. The office is unique and most people get their own office or share with one other person. There is a complementary coffee/cappuccino/latte machine and Tea available for employees. Great owner, President and CEO. There was issues with a prior president but since they fixed that issue the people who replaced him are amazing.
