Pros

College-like atmosphere. Lots of young people, drinking culture. Team happy hours, kickball leagues. Yearly retreat. Learned a lot about how buildings are built. Worked on an impressive project. Learned managerial, accounting, construction coordination skills.

Cons

Long hours. Unpredictable when you will be moved next and where. I was overworked and underutilized in the area of my expertise. Weekend work. Power thirsty, immature managers. Drama in the office. Underpaid. No real training when you first start. Health benefits and 401k were not that great. I felt no real potential for growth with the company. They were weird about PTO, like you could take time off but it was frowned upon.

Holder Construction Response

Thank you for your feedback and we appreciate your service with Holder. We take pride in collaborating on best-in-class projects across the country and are glad you saw the benefit of working on such projects. Holder does in fact hire many young associates out of college strategically to set them up for a long career with organic growth in the company. The growth and development of our associates in their careers is extremely important to us. Drinking is not part of company culture or tolerated in the workplace. Many associates enjoy spending time together outside of working hours for social activities. The construction industry has a reputation for being demanding, with long working hours. Holder is made up of hardworking, dedicated associates with a “do what it takes” attitude to make our projects successful. We value and support the work-life balance and offer ample Paid Time Off necessary to keep our associates happy and healthy, and performing their best.
