This is not a construction company!

Pros

I believe the executive management to have a solid vision and sincere care for the future of the company and talent. I believe the Operations side is strong.

Cons

There is a severe lack of competent leadership at or just above the project level. It is certain the executive team is very distant from problems on the ground in the West. There is a total lack of refined processes, with little training to meet expectations. Failing commitments is nearly a staple of immediate management. Subcontractors are rarely paid on time. Safety is secondary. Quality is tertiary.

Hello, Cortlandian! We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, and we’d like to take the opportunity to respond. Our executive team does have a strong vision for Cortland’s growth and direction, and they work tirelessly to support that growth as well as our teams and our culture. Recently, we took action to ensure our continued growth by restructuring our construction department to better position ourselves in the multifamily industry – which did come with some changes in leadership. We recently revamped our Leader’s Boot Camp training so all leaders, regardless of department, have the tools, resources, and knowledge to effectively lead their teams to success. In addition, we offer countless trainings to associates to make sure they’re able to meet their goals, their team’s goals, and Cortland’s goals. We can also assure you that safety and quality are top priorities – which why we have a dedicated Quality Control team. We encourage you to reach out to Talent Resources about career path opportunities and how you can grow in your role! #GrowTogetherAndPlayAsATeam – Steve Maruo, VP of Construction Operations

Hi there, Cortlandian! We’re upset to hear that your Cortland experience isn’t blowing you away. We realize that some parts of the job – like late hours and it being stressful – are unavoidable at times, but you’ve always got a team at your back to support you. We also practice an open-door communication policy across the entire organization, meaning you can bring up your pain points to your manager, Talent Resources, or your Director of Operations. We want to help you find the joy in being a Cortlandian again – and speaking up is the first step to getting there. #ListenWithYourHeartAndYourMind –Trey Lopez, Director of Operations
