Pros

I've worked in the tax department at Lehigh Hanson for nearly 4 years. The work/life balance is good. I rarely work over 40 hours a week. The people make the company, I think, and in this company, the people are great. There is a push for regular inter-department meetings, which is a big benefit. When AP and accounting can sit down and work together, it's a big deal. Lehigh Hanson values new ideas and has a program for submitting ideas to a review board. Many of these ideas are approved and implemented. The company has a good training program. Employees are valued by management, something you don't always get in a company.

Cons

Lehigh Hanson is still very old school with working hours and vacation. Employees are expected to work normal business hours and working from home is frowned upon. Vacation starts at 2 weeks, and finally gets up to 17 days after 15 years of service.

Pros

I really enjoyed working in the corporate setting of Lehigh Hanson! I was able to explore a new part of the country down in Texas and learn more about the mining industry. I really enjoyed working for this company and getting to know all of the people there!

Cons

I'm required to write a con for this. The only thing I can think of was not getting to know interns in the other areas of the company. I became really good friends with the other engineering interns!
