Strong Benefits and DEI for Some, But Gaps in Disability Inclusion and Career Growth

Administrative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

*The company offers excellent benefits, providing employees with strong healthcare, retirement, and other perks that enhance overall well-being including generous PTO enhancing work-life balance. *Its commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is notable, particularly for people of color (POC) and gender diversity, fostering an inclusive and supportive workplace for these groups. *Clear advancement path for Construction Dept staff

Cons

*The company's DEI efforts for employees with disabilities are lacking. Reports indicate that individuals with disabilities often face challenges, including being pushed out of the organization. *HR has a tendency to justify or support executive decisions that may negatively impact employees with disabilities rather than advocating for equitable treatment. *Compensation is not keeping pace with the public sector, making it less competitive for employees who might find better pay elsewhere. *There is no clear professional path for administrative workers.
