Top Review Highlights by Sentiment
- "Power offers great benefits and fun events to attend, whether volunteer events or company parties etc." (in 4 reviews)
- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Power is led by great leaders.
Cons
The level of sharing that one would wish is not always there.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Good benefits and fun events, but not worth dealing with office politics.

Power offers great benefits and fun events to attend, whether volunteer events or company parties etc. There is a lot of training always available and free lunches are a perk.
Cons
Power has grown into a larger company that still operates with a small company mentality- in a detrimental way. Workplace politics and gossip are lurking behind most interactions and it is very much a boys club. Be cautious of departments that are meant to serve as a resource for employees. Compensation is typically under market and there is a lack of transparency around bonuses, resulting in only "favorites" receiving anywhere near the full amount.

Pros
A1 company good with employees management is good
Cons
No cons everything is good working here
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
The pay is pretty good
Cons
Work field not so nice
- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Good training opportunities, great benefits, cool projects.
Cons
I would advise you to NOT use HR as a resource. As with all HR departments-they exist to protect the company (not you) and any information you give…just don’t. Also, as much work as they’ve done on being diverse and inclusive-it’s still very much a white man’s world/boys club.

Pros
Power has an excellent culture that is focused on building relationships. All of my co-workers have turned into lifelong friends and/or wonderful business associates. Power also makes sure to thank employees often whether it's at their annual meeting, holiday party, departmental outings & lunches or catch em' doing good (gift cards, cash, etc). It's a place where you work really hard and sometimes a lot but it does offer flexibility when you need it.
Cons
Understanding how bonus' are tied to the formal review process. It would be nice to see a little bit of insight into items like that.

Setting the bar for construction in Chicago, and doing the work internally to set the bar for themselves!
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
I've found my family here at Power! My coworkers are all incredibly talented and intelligent, and the employees here really do their work in ways that clearly reflect the company's values (do the right thing, relationships matter, find a better way, etc.)! For those coming into the construction industry for the first time, the environment can feel a bit more "old-school" than other workplaces - this is balanced for me by the feeling that the company is constantly evolving and I'm encouraged to implement and try new ways of doing things.
Cons
In the coming months and years, I hope that Power will continue to benchmark salaries for their office staff to keep compensation competitive - the operations side is certainly on par, but I've noticed turnover on the office side usually can be attributed at least partially to less competitive compensation given how successful the company is. I also would like to see it made clearer how bonus' are tied to the formal review process. Power's benefits are really comprehensive. The only room I see for improvement is adding additional PTO - especially at the entry level, it could make them more competitive and help with work/life balance. The biggest culture shift I hope to see at Power is in DEI - there are VP's, members of leadership and employees who are really driving the company's growth via community outreach and training. Construction has traditionally been an industry dominated by white men, and I see Power really leading the charge to make the industry more diverse and inclusive in an authentic and sustainable way. I think it would be even more impactful and encourage more of the white male employees to get involved if we saw more VP's and leaders get involved, learn alongside employees, and set the precedent for others.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Takes care of their employees and assures that everyone has a good work life balance.
Cons
After 2 years of working for Power, I truly cannot think of any.
- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros

Cons
Construction industry in general is work hard, play hard. The hours can be long here - same as anywhere else
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Great experience overall! Love the positive outlook!
Cons
No issues to date at Power!
