Pros

Typical plethora of resources of a bigger company

Cons

This company does a phenomenal job at brainwashing it’s employees to believe that it’s operating procedures are industry standard. In the field your work day is a standard 10-14 hours. In my 3 years of being with the company I worked 65-80% of my weekends. If you voiced your about how you were overworked it impacted your standing/raise/bonus. Don’t expect to have a life outside of work with this company. The bonus may be higher than most in the industry but it’s not worth it in regards to what you have to sacrifice to get it. There’s a reason why this company can’t retain employees or why it can’t keep seasoned employees that they hire who don’t come up from the intern program

Holder Construction Response

Thank you for your years of service with Holder, and we apologize your experience ended for the reasons you described. Long hours are unfortunately common in the construction industry, we acknowledge this challenge and empower all associates to find their work-life balance and use PTO for your personal wellness. Overworking is not standard practice, and is not a baseline that impacts standing/raise/bonus. Overworking is discouraged as it directly impacts your safety and burnout.

Holder Construction Response

We give our associates great responsibility which can often lead to long work hours. We care about each associates’ wellbeing and provide benefits, such as Paid Time Off, annual bonus program, Wellness Program, Employee Assistance Program, etc., to help to offset this. Associates should always talk to their managers when they feel workload has become too demanding.
