      Pros

      Hensel Phelps provides their employees with the opportunity to succeed. Responsibility is allocated based upon the employee’s abilities. The allocation of responsibility creates an environment that fosters pride in work. The Hensel Phelps employees all take pride in their job. This includes salaried and craft. All of the craft are skilled and great to work with. Salaried positions are filled by individuals who enjoy their work and want to complete projects to a higher standard than the typical contractor.

      Cons

      Long hours and possible relocation are possibilites. The long hours are not bad since the time goes fast when working hard.

      Good place to learn every aspect of construction but long hours make work-family balance difficult

      Pros

      If you want to learn construction from the bottom up, this is the place for you. They will start you in the field rubbing shoulders with laborers. We even operated equipment to move building material. Training is more than adequate. Jobs are often very high-profile. Senior management are all promoted from within and provide stability. Support from the managers are very good. High level of interaction with your co-workers in the same project. Employees stay in touch with each other after they move on to different projects. Loyalty is emphasized and rewarded.

      Cons

      As in many construction firms, work hours are very long. We often start meeting at 6 a.m. and don't leave office until 5 or 5:30. On average work one to two Saturdays each month (often you find out on Friday you need to work the next day and it ruins your weekend plan with your friends and family). The experience weights heavily on the quality of the project team. Most are good and fair but if you're stuck with a bad manager, it's very difficult to get a transfer so you'll just have to deal with it for the next year and half or two. Employees have very little say about where they will be transferred to, even if you have a family. Starting salary is below industry standard but reward comes in as bonus and company shares for those who stay 8 years and beyond.

      Pros

      Lot of training, good work relationships. More of a family atmosphere and relaxed. I've heard not all projects are like that.

      Cons

      Relocation is a downside to every big company.
