I joined the company excited about the role and the culture I was told I’d be joining. Unfortunately, the reality was very different. The work itself can be rewarding, and there are some great people on the team, but there are significant issues that make it hard to feel supported or treated fairly.
There is a noticeable pattern of favoritism, and certain individuals are given opportunities, information, and exceptions that others are not. Processes that are supposed to be standard - like sales procedures or procurement rules - are applied inconsistently depending on who’s involved. This creates a work environment where you don’t always feel like you have an equal chance to succeed.
Training and expectations are also unclear. The certification process is subjective, inconsistently evaluated, and doesn’t accurately measure real performance. Feedback is often delayed or contradicts what is communicated in team meetings. You’re expected to follow strict guidelines without receiving adequate training to meet those expectations.
The culture has shifted over time to become increasingly micromanaged, and the environment no longer reflects the collaborative, supportive company it was presented to be during the interview process.
There are good people here and potential for positive change, but until leadership addresses favoritism, communication gaps, and inconsistent treatment, it will continue to be a challenging place for many employees.

This is a company that could be great to work for. Unfortunately, poor management has lead to high turnover. Poor management makes poor decisions And they pick and choose who they put in positions to excel- go figure. In my experience, manager was dishonest with fragile egos and definitely played office politics. Outside of that, there are some great people who work for this company-they’re just not the people who hold your career in their hands.

Construction Internship was a good experience. Employees are all nice and supportive. You learn hands on in a neighborhood and it can be somewhat physical (as expected). If you want to get the best out of the internship then you must ask questions; otherwise you will learn but won’t get the in depth experience most look for with an internship. Overall, Arbor Homes Construction internship is valuable and could lead to other opportunities. 

Fisher contracting says the right things when you interview but does not follow thru.  You find out real quick if you don’t get along with the dirt Superintendant or the superintendent’s family you will get fired.   They are all one family and don’t like outsiders.  They will make your life very difficult so much so that you will want to quit while working there.

A lot of work for little pay, i worked 5o to 55 hours a week.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Everything, demands where high, pay is low to the industry 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Started day at 6 am and finished at 5 pm Monday thru Friday

Very demanding job with regional managers having no respect for your time off. Expected to be on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Very stressful environment. Constantly told to set proper expectations with customers but when you do that if customers complain, regional management will not back you up. Not recommended for the faint-hearted.

I loved my job with Arbor Homes, I have only positive things to say about this corporation.  The pay was fair and it was a family oriented type of atmosphere.  I would still be employed there if they had not pulled out of the Lafayette area.

A lot of promises made upon being hired.  A lot of empty promises.  The bonus structure explained is very misleading.  Basically thrown into the job to learn the company way of doing things on your own.  Very high turn over.  Constructing managers are old school with no idea of how to work with today’s contractors.  Very small minded and insecure.
