Weis Builders, Inc.

I have worked in IT at Weis Builders for over a decade. I’ve seen the business in several business cycles and know most of the associates within the organization. The condensed summary of what is below is this: if you are an individual who is motivated to learn and grow within the context of a skilled and professional team who encourages your growth and would like to be recognized and rewarded over your tenure for your dedication to excellence – Weis Builders is a good fit for you and you are a good fit for Weis Builders.

Corporate Culture: The business provides professional services to its clients, so the atmosphere is one to foster professionalism as a priority. Associates are respectful of one another, concerned about the needs of clients (internally and externally) and should be willing to be flexible to meet the goals of the company.  

Day to day the associate culture is relaxed with opportunities for casual work and non-work conversations in an environment that welcomes abundant communication. Culture is to greet one another by name as you pass.

Compensation: Compensation has always been competitive in the marketplace. Annual bonuses and overall compensation packages are designed to be in line with industry standards. Associates who excel in their role will see the fruit of their hard work in how they are compensated. 

Advancement: While smaller organizations (sub 500 associates) do tend to have limited career advancement paths, this organization does not shy away of advancing associates in title, responsibilities, and compensation at intervals that are appropriate to the type of role the associate is in. 

Work life balance: In my role there are times where work needs to be accomplished outside of business hours. It has not been burdensome and the scheduling is entirely up to my choosing. 
There is a trust relationship that grows between the associate and organization which allows a degree freedom. In a professional environment, associates are expected to handle this freedom with care and are allowed the space to do so.

On a personal side note – in the difficulties of the circumstances of life I have been able to experience the care of the ownership for me personally during a particularly difficult circumstance. During this time there was never a time where the work I performed was valued more than me, the worker. I was well cared for directly and allowed time and space to process the event from my personal life. This was true for ownership, management, and even other associates. 

I am thankful for the opportunities to learn, grow, and work afforded to me by Weis Builders.

High performing, hardworking job seekers with a humble disposition will thrive in this environment.


I have worked at Weis Builders since 1997.  Even though we are a large company with offices in Minneapolis, Rochester, Chicago and Dallas we have not lost the personality of a family-owned business with a very comfortable and team-oriented culture.  There is freedom to be creative and support when needed.  So many people here – at all levels – are very willing to share their successes and failures to help one another improve and succeed.  This is also a place where people are promoted from within.

This is a place where you will work on challenging projects with talented people.  The office atmosphere is relaxed, friendly and supportive – and everybody knows everybody.  The work/life balance here is, well, balanced.  To a great extent, I set my own schedule and am able to keep my calendar productive and family-friendly.


Weis Builders is a very lackluster, uninspiring organization to work for. It’s a construction firm, so nothing world-changing or immensely impressive, but the self-congratulatory culture is enough to make one cringe. Awards and accolades are passed out like candy for the most mundane work functions. Perfection is expected, especially for the finance and accounting teams and if errors are made, the very abrasive and unkind heads of the department are more than willing to let you know you are less than everyone else - there is no grey area here, either you are admired (with an award or two eagerly shoved in your face) or you are despised. Employees are very cliquey and self-important. Charitable endeavors are half-hearted and perfunctory. There are no member of management and very few employees who are BIPOC. Overall, I do not recommend this company. 

I've had the opportunity to work in multiple Weis Builders office locations and can say the company shares the same "Weis Way" workplace culture throughout offices. The company provides lots of learning opportunities, and has a learning plan program for new associates or associates with role changes. New associates out of college have the opportunity to work in Project Engineer, Assistant Superintendent, or Assistant Estimator roles. There are also opportunities to get experience in multiple roles. The job can be challenging, but there are many ways that the company rewards associates. The most enjoyable part of the job is completing our projects and delighting our clients.

I have worked at Weis Builders for several years and have witnessed different transformations over the years and currently  the company is better than it has ever been (not that it was ever bad).  The group of people we get to work with day in and day out are genuine and truly enjoy doing what they do.  Being part of the management team there is nothing more rewarding that seeing the younger staff wanting to succeed and being able to give them opportunities to do so - you can go as far as you want to go and have a multitude of different opportunities.  

A great family company where ownership truly understands and appreciates the employee.  Weis Builders has great systems and training resources as well as high expectations for team members which leads to project success, employee growth, and many great opportunities for the employee and company.  Ownership and upper management are deeply involved in the day to day operations to provide project team support and to make sure excellence is achieved for the client.  Many long-term employees and friendly culture.

They give you nice opportunity to grow within the company.

I would greet clients a they come into the office while answering the phones which was a multi switchboard until 7:30. I would open the fed-ex packages & ups packages & mail that came in overnight. Then 7:30 I would go to my desk & start typing Contracts.

I would type the Subcontracts & give them to the Project Managers to review & they would give them back to me to send to the Subcontractors. I would log them when I send them out & when I got them back into the office for distribution again.

Weis does a great job of putting you in positions to learn and grow. Upper management listens to your voice and does a great job of making accommodations if possible.
A good established company with repeat customers and plenty of work, so job security isn't an issue.
Can be a bit of a taxing career so make sure you maintain good work-life balance. Weis does a great job of accommodating the life outside of work. Expect to work hard.

An amazing support staff and management with a balance of experience, and a caring attitude who are invested in growing people.
Height integrity, building with quality and doing what is right, something that is rare in this business. I am proud to be a part of this team and look forward to going to work every day. The work environment is definitely challenging but with a co workers that care and are always willing to jump in a help above and beyond what is required.

I've worked here for over ten years.  I can honestly say that everyone I work with is honest, hardworking, professional, and personable.  That is something that starts at the top -- the owners (family) are genuine and fair.   There are countless examples I can think of where they have gone the extra mile for their employees.
