Pros

Holder offers many opportunities for taking on responsibilities and growing.

Cons

You will hate working here because this company makes your job your entire life. They do not ever let you use your PTO. You will work at least 80 hours a week if on the field side. I experienced racism and sexism in my time here. You will get cursed out if something is done incorrectly.

Holder Construction Response

Holder is committed to providing an environment free of harassment and discrimination, and these incidents should be reported immediately, so we can investigate in a timely manner. We recognize the construction industry’s long hours and your feelings of reaching maximum work capacity. Managers and their associates are expected to keep an open line of communication about workload and using PTO. We are very sorry to hear your experience did not align with our promise.

Pros

Rewarding experience. One of the best Construction Companies that works with the best Clients. There's a large focus on employee feedback and curtailing the company to their employees. There's an opportunity for long-term employment in the same location.

Cons

None. Understand your role and responsibility. They want to employee people who want to grow in their career and not coast. This is not a place where you can coast.
