Pros
I currently work for Holder Construction, and it is the best place I have ever worked. And I am 58 years old.
The workday varies depending on what site you are on and who you work with but our Engineers never work weekends and usually get here around 7:00 - 7:30 and leave around 6:00. However, there are many days that folks have personal reasons to leave early say 3:00 till and nothing is ever said. There is a great work/life balance. You start off with 3 weeks PTO with 4 floating holidays. So basically around 4 weeks PTO.
Our field workers rotate working weekends if it is necessary.
They provide so many training opportunities, the pay is wonderful with yearly cost of living rises every June, great medical benefits, etc. and the retirement is pretty awesome. You can start contributing after 6 months of employment.
I never have an issue requesting or getting approval for PTO.
The culture here is like none I have ever experienced. Everyone across the country is willing to help with whatever I need. Everyone is nice. In my experience.
I hope this helps and I hope to meet anyone that takes an offer from Holder at our yearly Connect Event in Atlanta.
Cons
The only con I have is that I didn't find this company sooner
