Neutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Pepper Construction full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Pepper offers great benefits and is very family-oriented. Overall, work-life balance is so-so; I'm lucky to have a manager who does value work-life balance, so it's a bit different for me than others in the office.
Office location is decent at best. Would be much nicer to work closer to downtown. They have office events that can be fun.Cons
Very strict on money. Will choose cheaper stuff with less quality over better quality and just a bit more expensive. For the size of the company, it surprises me they don't offer free snacks or drinks (comes back to the money issue). Unless you are an executive in the office, your opinion doesn't matter. People get overly emotional and dramatic if they aren't chosen for awards or recognition, so the office doesn't do much of that.
Advice to Management
Stop worrying about hurting peoples feelings when it comes to recognizing employees. If an employee is doing a great job, recognize them without thinking twice. Appreciate your employees more with better work-life balance.

Pros
Very nice people with reasonable pay. Benefits were great. Lots of programs during and after work like healthy eating initiatives with incentives or beach volleyball after work. Objectives and responsibilities were made clear also.
Cons
Upper management was somewhat conservative design-wise but this is the construction industry we are talking about so not really surprising.
Advice to Management
What can I say, everyone was reasonable. The only reason I left was because of the commute. I guess being more open to design ideas was the only quibble.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Pepper Construction full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Great company as far as revenue. Very knowledgeable and passionate employees make it a satisfying place to work. Great benefits and they pay for working hard.
Cons
Can be overworked at times due to lack of staff. There is sometimes confusion within the company as to who and what people are in charge of and the roles of each department. Management in some departments could use some help. Pay/negotiations could be better.
Advice to Management
A better job can be done with regards to connecting with the employees. It can be tough sometimes connecting with the executives in the Chicago office while working in the Barrington office.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Pepper Construction full-time (More than a year)
Pros
They get the big jobs, such as Wrigley field and high rises in the city. Some really good people to work for.
Cons
You may work one day during the day and the next day they want you to work at night. With no notice besides hey go here. Late on paychecks several times and they give a stink when trying to get a new one printed out. Talk about safety a lot and then go to work and safety is out the door instantly. You are basically just another number to this company.
Advice to Management
Respect the hard workers, don't work the lazy over the hard workers because of " who they know "

Pros
Great people and good company to work for. Lots of experience to pull from and learn from. Can grow with the company if desired. Great training structure.
Cons
Slow and steady growth if capable. Pay is less than what can be found in the industry. Not fair at times with compensation and benefits.
Advice to Management
Continue to diversify and hire good talent, but be sure to fairly compensate and cultivate them in order to keep that talent
