The Top Ten

Home Genius Exteriors

+1 spotPrev. #2

Employees say:"Passion is contagious. Home Genius Exteriors puts people first; celebrating each win but also learning from each loss. The executive team is remarkable and is committed to excellence. I could not ask for a better company to grow with."

Shawmut Design and Construction

+1 spotPrev. #3

Employees say:"The level of care people give to their work, their dedication to the company, and their drive to try to make it a great place to work. I think being an ESOP is part of it, the ownership in the profit that comes along with being an ESOP, but on top of that I think the way we get together and celebrate wins/progress is a big part of it as well. We rally for each other, we rally for the company, we rally for our community."

Hayden Homes

+4 spotsPrev. #7

Employees say:"We have a great deal of transparency in what we share throughout the organization in terms of performance. We have alignment around shared goals. We have a unique set of core values that encourage people to embrace a spirit of giving and to grow both personally and professionally. We have amazing benefits including our home purchase program as well as health and welfare benefits. We have a caring culture that rallies around each other and lifts one another up."

CBH Homes

NEW

Employees say:"CBH invests a great deal in making sure we hire people who will truly be a good fit. In addition to an application there are multiple tiers of personality tests an applicant must take to inform about their top strengths & their preferred working style/environment. What ends up happening is that people are hired into positions and onto teams that allow them to shine in their own strengths. It creates more reactions like "I'm so excited I get to work on that" vs. "I'm not inspired by that / I dread this task." It doesn't end at onboarding either. We continually evaluate our strengths together as teams, departments and as a company."

Victory Home Remodeling

-4 spotsPrev. #1

Employees say:"We are hyper focused on maximizing our human potential. Some examples are the Victory Leadership Academy and professional growth initiatives expanding from leader of self, leader of others, leader of a team, leader of a department. We provide one to one coaching, online learning modules, interactive software, in person lessons, and larger leadership events, all part of our development ecosystem fostering growth. We also have personal growth initiatives centered around the mind, body, and soul. Our ethos and north star is to do good things, with good people, in a good way."

Drees Homes

-2 spotsPrev. #4

Employees say:"Our CARE program embodies our culture and what we strive to be when it comes to our customer service. Communication, Always Do the Right Thing, Relationship Building, Exceptional Quality. It is the reason that I love Drees so much. It's a fair company and you feel like part of a team, no matter what division I travel to. People are treated with respect and are kind."

Schell Brothers

-2 spotsPrev. #5

Employees say:"While we have the same sort of executive structure, everyone on the leadership team is extremely approachable and kind. I know that if I ever had an emergency, someone on my team would be there to have my back. (ex. I got a flat tire in the middle of nowhere and had no idea how to change it. One of the CMs immediately drove out to my location in the middle of the workday to help me change it and even gave me some good tips to keep in mind if it were ever to happen again!). I feel like I get to work with some of the kindest and smartest people around and I am super lucky to be a part of such an incredible team and organization."

KAST Construction Company

+3 spotsPrev. #11

Employees say:"One very unique thing about KAST is how much we donate to people and organizations within the municipalities we work. There are several benefits each year that help the local community, including renovating the Children's Cancer Center, having our project teams 'adopt' a child that we donate Christmas gifts to, or donate to an organization that helps people less fortunate than us."

Hoar/HPM

-1 spotPrev. #8

Employees say:"At HPM one of our core values is relentless pursuite of improvement (RPI). We have a company wide training portal, where you can learn leadership skills, job training, management training, etc. We are encouraged to better ourselves and never stop learning."

The individuals that work here go above and beyond, assume positive intent, and genuinely care about their work product. The leadership is approachable and trustworthy. I cannot say enough good things about this company!"
