"The Revolving Door"
What do you like about working at Ingerman Construction?
"I liked my immediate supervisor, the COO with whom I had a prior working relationship. Prior to this position he hired me while he was working for a mid-size contractor as a senior superintendent. The COO was also a new hire for this company and recruited me for the project, based on personal respect, his knowledge of my character, skill sets, abilities, and mutual trust based on our past working relationship. When I accepted the position I was in a status of semi-retirement and had no desire at my age to undertake a project of this magnitude without on-site assistance.I accepted conditionally because they were unable to find a superintendent for the project. I also assisted the project manager for a period of one month and without compensation in locating and soliciting local sub-contractors for bid packages to complete the project buy-out."

"From my experience; Get all agreements in writing. Insist on review of the personnel manual and if their is something vague or nebulous, ask for written clarification. No Gentleman's agreements and like the credit card companies; All terms are subject to change!This solicited employer review is written and based solely on my fourteen month experience as an employee and is a comparative of my total corporate work experience and expectations as an employee.I take no pride in the experience and am content to be retired three years after my employment with this company."
What don't you like about working at Ingerman Construction?
"In my opinion, and perception based on my forty plus years of experience as a pure construction professional working in senior management for Fortune 500 Companies; this is my assessment. The company culture is influenced by the owner's and senior management's banking and legal profession background with an emphasis on a quick profit and hiring on an as needed policy. The business is top heavy with office staff composed of family, and friends of family that work Bankers Hours. Calling the office was a frustration waiting for someone to pick up a phone, and to properly greet and identify themselves was a lost courtesy.Early on in my position, I was forewarned by one of the company's major, long term materials supplier that the company cleaned house of the field personnel on a yearly basis.I worked for the company for a duration of fourteen months and at that point made the decision to terminate the relationship. This decision was based on many reasons to list and as a side note; the project manager and COO terminated their employment shortly after I did. Foremost, I was displeased in managements failure to contract competent, qualified and performing sub-contractors. Management failed to provide as promised, prior to my hire, an assistant superintendent, to assist in the day to day field supervision, for the fast track, $13,000,000.00 state subsidized low income housing project. In the beginning of the project and in the dead of winter with temperatures in the teens management would not provide electrical service or heat for the office trailer that I was provided to conduct business. I was not paid for some entitled, company holidays that were detailed in the original personnel manual and was told that I could not take the remainder of the paid personal / vacation days prior to the end of year, with no carry over to the next calender year. The pay scale was far under prevailing wages for the geographic area in which I commuted daily.The policy manual that I was provided on start of employment was nebulous and obfuscating in interpretation and execution. Several months latter after start of employment it was superseded with out disclosure to me, and in my opinion was changed to the detriment of the employee.Remember; New Jersey State Employment Law has a hire and fire at will policy, and provides the employee no protection. When you are working outside of state Lines you may have employment protection through local State and Federal Regulations."

"Worked as a Starts Manager III / Field Manager II at Rose Lake, which had three neighborhoods, Cantura, Terraces and Berkshire Estates. Where I was encouraged to tell the project manager what I saw , then the project manager would go back and tell the Field Manager III that I said these things and would create animosity between us."
