Pros

I've been with Rosendin many years I've seen good years and not so great years but the company was always good.. people liked working here. we appreciated our leadership and our Company president who was the Face of the company and we all knew him..it seemed as though he cared not just about the company but about the people who worked within it.. and that made people care about what they did and how they did it.. Rosendin was going places and we were all part of it.. we felt appreciated and valuable to the companies success..

Cons

Several years ago we got a new company president.. who he is.. most employees only know by name as the man is a ghost, who cares not about the employees. his new bottom line policies along with his complete failure to become the next face and responsible person for the success or failures of Rosendin shows it .. he is from the operations side of the business and only the bottom line matters.. it seems he feels as though employees, moral, determination, motivation and faith in company leadership is some else's responsibility.. over the past two years the employees under his leadership and policies have lost 24% of their ESOP plan.. what was once Rosedins selling point to new / potential employees as well as a reason to stay and work harder.. is dwindling away. Rosendin is no longer one of the best companies to work for in the bay area.. we haven't been in a few years now.. FYI leadership and success of a company starts at the top.. its also where the money is lost.. bad decisions and no responsibility... Who runs Rosendin who is this Ghost .. maybe there's a reason for his staying in the background.. I don't know all I know is the attitude and policies have reached the lower levels of this company.. and all you have to do is look around, listen and you will see and hear what employees really think about the new Rosendin..

Pros

ESOP & pay is pretty good. They prioritize team work so there's off site events and gatherings occasionally.

Cons

I was completely exhausted and burnt out so I had to leave. No remote opportunities, long commutes, burn out. Being remote when work sites are slow would be a game changer even if it was just 1-3 times a week. I've gotten transferred between worksites on a whim over the years and when things get hectic I understand why we're on site but there's definitely slow periods. Being remote when things are slow would be beneficial to mental health, time, and money. But I think they have a really old mentality on being an in person workplace even if they double or triple your commute time because of a new priority project. I had recently bought a home and had to commute across the city and was scared to sell and buy a new home because I didn't know where they'd send me next and I was exhausted from commuting and working OT daily. Work life balance gets difficult on the further work sites and they tend to be on polar opposite sides of the city. PTO could better. 17 days. Meetings are often sprung on people randomly and change frequently when you're on the field or in BIM. A LOT of pointless meetings that no one wants to do.
