Thank you for your feedback, and we appreciate your service with Holder. We acknowledge the long hours many projects require to deliver strong results to our clients, but we never want long hours to be a result of our culture. We value and support work-life balance, and we encourage associates to let their manager know if they have too many things on their plate.

Pros

Holder is a great company for someone just graduating from college. Holder gives you the opportunity to learn and grow in trades you've never worked with before. Holder offers good support if you are willing to ask for help.

Cons

Long unrealistic hours set by unrealistic timelines that were agreed to by the upper management. You will work 7 days a week with this company if they want you to work 7 days a week. No work life balance whatsoever, 90% of your time will be to work. It is frowned upon if you ask for a day off or need to do something on a particular weekend where you wont be able to come in, I saw this happen a lot when hourly guys tried to take a weekend off after working weeks straight without a day off. Pay isn't that great compared to other GCs out there.

Thank you for sharing your review. Our people are our most valuable assets, and we care about your overall wellness in and out of the office. We acknowledge that work-life balance can be a challenge in the construction industry, but we trust the relationships built within our project teams gives our associates confidence to ask for help when workload gets heavy. We are sorry to hear you and other associates felt unable to ask for that support. We fully support and encourage all associates to utilize PTO throughout the year to recharge to avoid burnout and remain happy and healthy. We offer a competitive compensation package, which includes a generous annual bonus opportunity for all associates. Overall pay is regularly reviewed against industry benchmarks, and a total rewards statement is provided twice a year so each associate can discuss any questions with their manager.

Pros

Management makes good decisions about pursuing future work and growing organically. Company was quick to make decisions to protect associates when COVID started and they have been smart about allowing people to return to the office on as as needed basis.

Cons

Company can sometimes sacrifice associates work life balance for profit. Of course, this also leads to better bonuses if there are fewer employees to split it between but sometimes balance (and health) is better than money.
