Terrible - Anonymous employee Penhall Employee Review

Strong emphasis on safety and quality across operations has always been #1 in the 11 years I have been with the company. Senior leadership encourages continuous improvement and cross-department collaboration. Opportunities to grow into larger roles if you show initiative and have the drive to be coached. Solid benefits package and work-life balance is improving. Company culture is shifting in a positive direction with more communication from our new CEO. In 11 years, all of my superiors have been honest and transparent with me while growing within the company.

Some legacy processes still need modernization but are improving with our new CEO's guidance. Technology systems could be better unified to reduce duplication of work but are improving with our new CEO's guidance.

I would say the team made working here worthwhile.

We'd gone through 6 recruiters in one year. I do feel like burnout happens quickly and you have to be ready to deal with disrespectful managers with a smile on your face. Which can become very old pretty quickly. I don't even think the issue is with leadership on the HR team as it's more of just some of the personalities you have to deal with. It can feel discouraging after time and time, especially knowing that a lot of these salaries are pretty high and you don't feel appreciated for any of the work you do as a recruiter. There's only so much your team can do for you. I do feel that for recruitment the managers will probably respond to men a lot better than women. I hate to say that, but often times in my I time here I'd leave work defeated. The role is almost like sales. The setup of recruitment isn't like other large construction companies who have a system in place and managers who are understanding and adaptable to that system. It's also a much smaller team. Once a year hits that's pretty much it. We also did not get raises, or bonuses which was disappointing because last year this team worked their butts off and we essentially got nothing and no one saw any value.
