great place to work - Senior Engineer Alares Engineering Employee Review

- Great coworkers and managers - You get to travel all over the US. In between travel days, you work on MEP design or reports relating to the site visits. - Gain experience in healthcare related HVAC, especially hydronics. - So far no long days (even during travel the days will often end at 4 or 4:30), overall good work life balance if the travel doesn't bother you. - Benefits overall in line with industry standard

- At times it can be a bit too much travel, sometimes even two weeks in a row, though you do learn a lot. It appears you can expect to travel for a week about every 2 months or so. For me this is a pro, but I can see it being a con for some people. - Not much of an onboarding process but overall they are lenient with newer employees. - Technology could be better. They have dedicated Revit/CAD pc's rather than everyone having their own license. Though it sort of makes sense because rarely are many people doing design at the same time, and it's not a big company. The dedicated pc's run software pretty well at least.

Some Pros you will benefit from working at Alares: - Use of Procore Technology software. this is A++++ and not found at many companies. - Large enough to get a $10M project completed, yet small enough to care about all their employees. - They foster a Vertical growth environment, but allow their employees to steer there own path to success. - You'll always be a name to the company and not just a number. - You'll be able to wear many hats throughout your role whether you're a PM, APM, or Super. Everyone has a hand in the process here at Alares. - Very fair and competitive salary - BCBS health coverage since 2017 - Above and beyond basic vaca/sicktime/PTO time. A++++

They deal with strictly Federal work and more specifically VA hospitals. They certainly can deliver in that arena, but are hesitant to reach out and compete on typical public/private projects as of course profit margins are slim. Keep in mind this is a veteran based company and with that comes its Pros & Cons like any company in the construction industry.
