Hensel Phelps Construction Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"I have worked for Hensel Phelps for over 4 years, during my time I got to work around some of the best, hard working and talented individuals. However, HP has a major problem with employee recognition, and promoting. Base is extremely low compared to other companies and they will tell you "but the benefits," which is not true. All the benefits are vested over 5 years period, and you have to be at a P.E. level to even begin to feel any of it. HP is a great place to learn skills and improve yourself, but not good for long term goals unless you have no aspiration to climb the ladder, as you will not be promoted for being a hard worker or good at your job, but promoted based off politics of the company and the relation you have with your upper management. If you are a hard working, goal oriented person, this is not the place for you, as you will not be recognized and will only be seen as a "hard Worker" if you are working 10-12 hour days, regardless of how good, efficient, or smart you are."

"I have been with the company for almost three years. I have enjoyed it thus far. I have been challenged in the field and project engineering aspects of construction. I’m looking for other positions to expand my knowledge of the industry and seek out more opportunities for growth and career development."

"Overall a great firm; however, it is clear to me that this company is not for everyone."

"Great craft workers, senior management was involved with employee wellbeing"

"I started this January and strongly believed that I had found the right fit for me. The company preached quality of life and had a decent offer. In the end it was not a good fit for me since it did not give me the opportunity to truly make a difference and learn."

"Great company overall company to work for including the people."

"Hensel Phelps expects extremely long hours from all employees at all levels. 10 hour days are a minimum and 12 hour days are common. Advancement can take a long time and the first advancement doesn't come with a salary increase. It's not a promotion according to them."
