I have been working at Austin Industries full-time for more than 8 years
Pros
Ok company to work for except that they do not pay hourly employees for holidays. Supposedly its employee owned therefore all employees should be paid holidays not just the uppers and foreman's, superintendents.
Cons
Austin Bridge and Road does not pay holidays to hourly employees, even though they advertise paid time off that's not true.
Advice to Management
Start paying all hourly employees (construction workers) holidays they are also employee owners as you call them.

Pros
Lots of work all across the United States and expanding
Cons
Upper mgmt not strong at all. Not involved on large projects enough . Jobs not bided correctly
Advice to Management
Get proactive. Get out there and see a project and predict problems and deviate as needed . Make sure the bid is on par for our requirements. Remember if you man up directs you will need to man up Indirects. Field verification is a must. Do not have too many people multitasking g so much that they are not able to fulfill their primary role. One team starts with you.
