Clayco reviews

The major downside of Clayco was definitely in communication. There are a number of different Clayco groups and sometimes they did poor jobs of communicating with one another, especially in terms of innovations or failures. There was also a disconnect between senior management and lower employees. There was a disconnect between the Clayco philosophy of openness and the reality of the job. On another note, the hours can be very difficult. Clayco subscribes very much to the work hard play hard mentality. While the time off and events are certainly nice and fun, the hours can be horrendous if difficulties in projects arise.

Being onsite can be brutal. Their slogan is "the job is the boss" so work/life balance is out the window. During my interview I was told I would be on a job that was within 15 minutes of my house, right when I started they put me on one over an hour away, I had no say in it. I was told hours were "normal" and Saturdays were limited - I consistently was required to work 12 hours a day "on top of an hour+ commute both ways) and every 3rd Saturday, I felt like I didn't have any time to myself or my family and if I spoke out about it, I was essentially told "too bad, most people get over it eventually". Outdated software, PMWeb is the most unnecessarily complicated software in construction, just switch to Procore. An insane amount of micromanagement from corporate. You cannot complete any tasks without checking with 3-5 people first.
