Halford Busby - Owner is a nightmare!

Anonymous employee
Recommend
CEO approval

Pros

Ability to work with outstanding architects, engineers, lawyers and builders on great construction projects in healthcare, government, education and multi-family residential throughout Texas. VP and Sr. Estimators are great people and extremely knowledgeable, just berated constantly by owner.

Cons

Team-work, company morale and professional growth hampered by constant foul language, ill-temper, insensitive and racial comments, unethical, petty, and vindictive behavior and utter selfishness demonstrated by its owner and leveled at it employees. This person encourages in-company fighting and works to undermine trust, cooperation and cohesion among staff, management and employees. Do to paranoia on demonstrated by the owner, employees are constantly back stabbing and spying on others with enticements of better pay and possible future promotions. Benefits are offered, but employees will suffer if PTO is used. Owner will be great and well mannered in your interview, but on your second day you'll see a difference. Job seekers beware, you do not want to work here! The experience and pay are not worth working in a hostile and toxic workplace.

This is a disgruntled ex-employee who obviously did not like the owner personally. I categorically deny the remarks about me personally. I have employees that have worked for HB for many years and can attest to what is said above is not true.

Pros

I returned to work here after a 6 year absence in another industry. The technical staff is great, and owner and I picked up where we left off. There is a great family atmosphere here, and the projects we get to be involved with are interesting and great to be a part of! If you put 100% effort into your day, the rewards are great!

Cons

None that I can think of. If you do your job and own up when you make a mistake, there's no problem.

Pros

Great atmosphere, great coworkers and an enjoyable job. Owner listens and even helps out and is very personable. Very knowledgeable place that passes on to employees.

Cons

Small business, so vulnerable to market in the down turn. Otherwise no cons. I have had no complaints what so ever.
