The Top Ten

Victory Home Remodeling

+8 spotsPrev. #9

Employees say:"The investment they make in our people to grow professionally and socially is literally unheard of. Victory truly invests in their people. I'll never forget in one of our company wide meetings a new colleague didn't have a car and spontaneously we turned it into a fundraiser for our teammate. We compiled roughly $8K and an owner of the company himself went to the car lot and helped him purchase his first car. For myself, I got engaged last year, right after I took both our families out to dinner to celebrate. I went to pay for the check and found out the owners of the company paid the tab, that is a core memory and feeling I'll never forget."

Home Genius Exteriors

-1 spotPrev. #1

Employees say:"Home Genius Exteriors has a great culture that is based on helping lift everyone up to be the best possible. This is a low stress environment that is focused on doing the right thing for homeowners regardless of how it benefits the company. We are very respected by the community for exceeding their expectations. Not to mention they pay well which makes this job worth it! Overall, this is a great place to work and I have no desire to work anywhere else. I would recommend friends and family to work here because it feels like a big family that is always trying to help everyone grow! There is so much potential to build a career here and I am excited to see where we are a few years from now!"

Drees Homes

+4 spotsPrev. #8

The company was built this way and he exemplifies this himself to all the employees that I have seen him interact with. This is the mentality of the entire management team and it spreads throughout the company. Work hard, be accountable for your job, work as a team, celebrate achievements, have work life balance. We all share these values."

Schell Brothers

NEW

Employees say:"The culture. It's a combination of things that makes this a great place to work. The work/life balance is awesome. Our company events i.e. boat day/beach day, the many celebrations and parties that are planned throughout the year, volunteering for various events and programs, the emphasis on health and fitness. I think for the most part, management is pretty awesome. All of these things and more make this unique place to work."

I have been in the construction industry since 1995 and this is the best job (culture and benefits) that I've ever had. The Director that I report to is constantly trying to build my confidence. He makes me feel like I can be myself. The work culture here is phenomenal. Being an older employee, I was really searching for a construction firm with great culture. I now have found what I was searching for. I thank God every day for this opportunity. It has been a great blessing for myself and my family. I never want to work anywhere else."

LONG Building Technologies

Profit sharing is very unique and unusual to me. I was fortunate and saw that benefit around profit sharing time and I'm very grateful for that."
