We acknowledge the long hours many projects require to deliver strong results to our clients, but we never want that to create unhealthy environment or poor team culture. We acknowledge that work-life balance can be a challenge in the construction industry but empower associates to ask for help when workload gets heavy. Please reach out to your manager or trusted development partner to work out a plan and communicate the stress you may be feeling because of the long hours.

Pros

Paid certifications/trainings such as OSHA trainings, equipment operation certifications, ARC flash training, etc.

Cons

Extremely poor communication between all levels of management. Poor work-life balance. Weekend work is not required, but it is frowned upon if you don’t work weekends. Usually unaware if working Saturday/Sunday till Friday afternoon. Almost impossible to take PTO. Will not pay out any unused PTO should you decide to leave the company. Raises are hard to come by for field associates. Benefits are sub-par. You’re just another number with this company.

Thank you for your review. Holder values our associates, and we are sorry you had a negative experience with us. We believe open and frequent communication is crucial on our projects, and we continuously look for ways to facilitate better communication on our teams. We also acknowledge the long hours many projects require to deliver strong results to our clients, but would never want extended hours to be the result of internal miscommunication or mismanagement. We support work-life balance and encourage our associates to utilize their PTO throughout the year to recharge.

Our people are our most valuable assets, and we care about your health and wellness, both inside and outside the office. We encourage associates to find work-life balance that works for them, and to use Paid Time Off to recharge and minimize burnout. We are sorry to hear that you do not feel supported. “Care and connect” and “develop one another” are both central tenets of our company culture, and we encourage associates to have conversations with their managers if their workload becomes unmanageable or they have suggestions for improving the workplace environment.
