Pros

When I worked here, the company offered good health insurance, which was a strong benefit. They also had an option to work four 10-hour shifts per week, which I appreciated for the work-life balance. However, the CEO frequently changed direction on whether this schedule would continue, so there’s a good chance it may no longer be offered.

Cons

The work environment was extremely toxic, largely due to the CEO’s unpredictable and micromanaging leadership style. Expectations were often unreasonable, with intense scrutiny over minor, inconsequential details that had no real impact on the company, employees, or customers. There was a constant feeling that any small mistake was catastrophic, which created a high-stress atmosphere. The CEO also frequently changed her mind, creating confusion and instability — she would enthusiastically support an idea one day and completely deny ever agreeing to it the next. Inappropriate conversations, gossip, and poor boundaries contributed to an uncomfortable and unprofessional culture at the top. While the managers of the operations and estimating teams at the time were excellent — supportive, professional, and genuinely caring — they are no longer with the company, so their positive impact may no longer be relevant. The pay was decent, but the mental and emotional toll often outweighed the compensation. Additionally, many customers were challenging to work with, often rude and unprofessional, which added to the overall stress of the role.

Pros

I worked at CMI for one year until I had to relocate -- would not leave if I could help it! From day one, the team made me feel welcome. I knew very little about the behind the scenes activities involved with commercial construction before starting, and could not have asked for a better introduction to this industry. CMI genuinely cares about the clients and seeing the projects through to their end while providing top-tier customer service. Dorothy and the management team are super approachable and always willing to answer any questions employees may have! Plus, tons of perks such as great benefits, snacks, team activities, and an overall fast-paced and fun work environment. 10/10 would recommend!

Cons

None -- I will miss this team immensely.

Pros

It has been a couple of years since I have been here, I ultimately decided to come back and write a review because of how much this particular job shaped my career and my ability to adapt. While I may not have parted on best terms, I feel like this job is worth the time for anyone who has an interest in the the following: - Wants to understand the frame work of managing a business portfolio in a small time brokerage setting. - Wants to grow their sales experience without a real "sales" title or quota - Wants exposure to the supply chain/ logistics industry - Wants experience in simple Project Management, Vendor Management, and Operations Management - Wants light exposure to variable pricing markets - Wants to learn (the hard way) what good/essential Business to Business practices are. When DH (owner) is on duty you better believe she is auditing your work. She will catch everything from an undotted "i" to an uncrossed "t". If you cannot handle this type of authority, you may find yourself stressed. While it may seem excessive, her process will absolutely navigate you to make better business decisions, and generate an understanding of why it is important to be thorough. (Account Management 101 should be taught by DH) This company fills a very niche supply chain/ logistics gap for refuse transportation and misc site service in the construction sector. Business is very seasonal but consistent. Work will come in waves, timelines will be absolutely critical. When work slows to a crawl, the workplaces become very lax and easy going. Operations has a few OG members, however it is a gentle revolving door. The workplace culture is very reminiscent to the start up culture many new business are trying to adopt. Food, snacks, and beer provided along with gym perks and yearly bonuses.

Cons

While there are some very good experiences to take away from this company, it is not a long term career path. There are a few issues that you should be aware of when it comes to long term stability. - The business operates in the "Manual" Era. This means everything is managed on spreadsheets, pen/paper, emails, folders and fax. - Many tech companies are breaking ground this decade in the supply chain / logistics with more widespread and easily accessible software/services. This means there will be an inevitable obsolescence as more and more companies adopt new strategies to automate gaps in the industry. - On the flip side, this company services old school businesses very well. (However, if these companies are not adapting they will eventually become obsolete as well) - New business campaigns are absent - The book of business is a stagnant. No new business means no new opportunities and a semi-fixed plateau. This may also be due to the types of clients this company particularity serves. (old school manual/small time construction) - Clients can be oppressive/aggressive, most vendors don't like you, and workplace has a tendency to gravitate towards favoritism.
