Pros

Fantastic benefits: Health insurance, paid holidays, paid vacations, paid sick days, bonus pay for jobs that finish on time and within the budget, no-interest tool purchase program, weekly paychecks automatically deposited into my checking account, company provided phone for logging in and out each day and staying in touch with coworkers/managers. Company team building events. Great team culture: First company Ive worked for that has a Company Compass that encourages “balance and respect among employees, clients, owner and trade partners” along with a set of CORE VALUES that include : Be a contributing member of the Team with a Positive “Can-do” attitude Ecstatic Clients Integrity Creative and fun work environment Supportive and empathetic Accountability Honest and Direct communication Continuous Improvement, The entire company meets once a month to discuss and track our company wide goals, each department contributes. EVERYONE is valued and has a voice... really unheard of in my work experience Day to day: The jobs I work on range from small one to 5 day projects to ground up new home construction along with some commercial work. Most projects are remodels which can be challenging and sometimes a little scary, you never know exactly what your going to find until you start the demolition process but Melton DB has developed a great system for identifying and mitigating asbestos and mold issues. No matter what happens during the discovery and construction process, I never feel like I’m out on a limb by myself. It’s a good feeling knowing that I have the support of the entire company. Job security: Melton DB has been in Boulder for over 25 years , everyone knows who we are and our reputation is great in this community

Cons

This is a fantastic company and any negatives are due to issues found in any company . There are systems in place that encourage honesty, and dialogue between folks that have disagreements. Any kind of harassment, discrimination or conflicts are strongly discouraged ... a huge departure from the wolf pack culture I grew up in !

Pros

Everyone in production/the field generally has a good attitude and is very cooperative and helpful. Lots of experienced carpenters to learn from. Job sites are mostly consolidated in Boulder (and the rest still in Boulder county) so commutes are consistent. Good scheduling for field employees (an outline every Friday of the next two weeks).

Cons

I think some of the meetings are unnecessary fluff. I know it's important to the owners to share with everyone about company progress, but the information could easily be presented in an email. I was also a little disappointed in the annual review process. Mostly the raise (less than $2/ 5% an hour and I got pretty good marks). Pretty much the only thing that's not considered in annual raises is cost-of-living/inflation. I brought up this concern and I know some others did as well but nothing came of it. I know the company is making enough money to compensate employees for that. We're all just trying to make a living.
