Pros

If your lucky to work at the office the culture is progressive, diverse, and very energetic. Health insurance is amazing with low co-pays

Cons

My review is limited to the Phoenix office. There isn’t a gate-keeper or best practices for hiring field professionals as part of their Phoenix expansion. Expect toxic and/or incompetent Project managers, project engineers & superintendents. With their mentality of “the job is the boss” your work-life balance is non-existent, and fundamentals in decency, respect, & humanity is disregarded at the snap of a finger. The software packages for field operations would beg a guffaw if it wasn’t sad given the company boasts billions in revenues. The company doesn’t offer stocks to field operations the way other GCs do. They give abysmal pay increases in regions that experience soaring inflation; and there compensation isn’t competitive for the region. Don’t bother notifying upper management.

Starting a new office in a new region can have its challenges. Clayco is the most creative builder in America, and our success is contributed from a dynamic collaboration between ownership, designers, and builders. There is often a learning period to convert from the traditional general contracting processes. Those that are patient with the process and can see the big picture will be rewarded with an extremely fulfilling career with Clayco. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Pros

Some people you connect with can be really positive and helpful. Good insurance.

Cons

The company doesn’t care about their employees. I am classified as long term COVID. I had doctors notes to prove it. I had an order to work part time. I was told it was fine. I volunteered to use up my sick time. I was told by my manager I need to be working 50-60 hours a week and 6 days if I couldn’t do it in 5. When i reminded him of my note, he vented about the workload. I’ve seen many ladies cry in the bathroom because of the way they are treated. It’s terrible.

We have taken the COVID pandemic serious since the beginning, and we will continue to do so. Clayco has experienced a tremendous growth, and we could not have done it without the hard work and dedication of our team members. In turn, Clayco always remembers and takes care of their people. Through adversity, great people thrive. A full, honest work week will always be the expectation to fulfill our commitment to our teammates and clients. We have many programs to support and elevate women to executive levels by treating every one equal and rewarding the high performers. Because of deliberate, purposeful efforts from Clayco, more and more women are entering our industry, and it's fantastic! Thank you for your review - there is always room to improve.
