Finance Manager - Finance Manager Pete Fowler Construction Services Employee Review

Lots of freedom in how you spend your time, great work-life balance, lots of resources and support, open communication, awesome team culture. I feel challenged, and I see so much impact as a direct result of my hard work. I feel invested in our success, and I am incredibly proud of what I have helped make possible starting from a blank piece of paper in some instances. I am the master of my schedule, deciding what I need to do when to make sure my assignments are taken care of. I have come to learn that there isn't anything I can't do without a bit of research and project management skills. I love the culture we have built. Lots of collaboration, open opportunities for discussion. I have the psychological safety to experiment with something new and fail, knowing that the "failure" is just data for our next effort. I can feel the trust from leadership that I am a smart, capable individual. A notable shift in the culture over the years is the focus on emotional intelligence. The company offers regular courses in having tough conversations with one another, providing an impressive framework that we are all expected to use to manage disputes. It has significantly lowered the drama. I like that we all have the same vocabulary and expectations for civil conversation, even when emotions are high.

High expectations, challenging work with lots of problem solving, requires a lot of self discipline and time management. A growing company has it's ups and downs as it adapts to the growing pains that come with scaling for success. This means that a lot of what we do in the marketing team is uncharted territory with no set path forward. Everyday requires problem solving, critical thinking, and hard work. There are few opportunities for being on "auto-pilot" in your workload. The continuous improvement culture means that much of the written processes and training are often being changed and updated.

The Flexible schedule and Bonuses are the only good I could see

So many! The list is exhaustive - In my first week 3 people were fired and 1 quit immediately showing me how disposable they view people - "They were simply not a good fit" gets posted a lot, and I must say, when hundreds of people are joining and being fired each year, you start to wonder who fits - People would have full mental breakdowns due to the abusive language of 2 project managers and the owner, PETER. Crying was something I saw a lot of. - There was discriminatory language used a lot. - Their cashcow was a company that had no idea the scam billing methods being used. - Several employees have a drinking problem, likely began due to the stress level. I have never been so stressed at a job. - Pete is aggressive and frequently shouts slurs and swears at people of which I won't repeat. - Tries to make you sign an NDA after firing you so you can't leave reviews like this one!
