Austin Commercial reviews

Upper management plays way to much politics and tells you how to vote. During the 2008 election we were told to vote for GOP and dems were trying to screw us all. The main office has very little clue about a lot of stuff that goes on in the field. Also do not buy the entire part dealing with oh jobs are fine and we are doing great. They made those same promises and the next week they did massive rounds of lay offs. There is very little work life balance. They expect you to do stuff at a drop of a hate and work late no matter what you have going on at home. It is commercial construction so it has booms and bust. Things change very quickly and it is not stable. You bonus get slammed by poor management decision up top costing the company millions.

The quality of divisional leadership varies, which affects the divisional culture. Depending upon which division you work, there is a 'good 'ol boys' feel to the office dynamics. Some division managers pick favorite employees and if you come from the 'outside', do not be surprised if you are let go at the first sign of disharmony, regardless of your blood and sweat poured into the success of the projects/company.
