Pros

Hellas Construction could be a dynamic sports surfacing company. The company manufactures its own products that it uses to construct sports fields and running tracks. There are many hard working employees, who dedicate their lives for the purpose of satisfying loyal customers. The compensation is above average for the industry.

Cons

This company is micro-managed by an out-of-control tyrant (CEO), who seemingly plans each day around terrorizing one or more of his employees. He yells and screams, throws tantrums, gloats with success and points fingers in defeat. When he is away on a European venture, hunting trip, or a lawsuit deposition, the office thrives. When he is in the office, employees quickly remember how miserable their lives are.

Hellas Is A Bad Bad Place to Work

Pros

Not very many. You can get a masters in narcissism, a GED in construction management and maybe learn enough to pass a preschool level of ethics. Wait, let's not get carried away with ethics. Plus anybody can become a VP. You don't even have to have others in your department. All you have to do is praise the CEO, feed his ego and do his dirty work and you will climb the ranks! What else....there is always job openings! Just ask HR or Operations or for that matter, any department! Whatever you want to do there, just wait three days to a week and I'm sure someone will have seen the light and quit. I hear once you leave, your moral and happiness sky rockets. That's something to look forward to.

Cons

It's funny they have a 20 word minimum here! Not one clue what construction management is about. The CEO is so incompetent and clueless on how to run a professional office. As well as most of his minions that are afraid to tell him the truth. They believe in a constant state of training (due to the fact they can't retain anyone). Customers, contractors, vendors, subs and others in the industry are beginning to realize the truth. Experience has left the building. New faces every day. Micro management on every facet of the business from a CEO that thinks he knows all but has previously bankrupted a company as well as run off quality employees. Or micromanaged from a minion that has little to no idea about the industry. Read the other reviews. Good ones are fake except maybe one. The others speak volumes and go into more detail.

Pros

The only pro is an experience of the worst company/CEO and management you've ever engaged with in your career and what not to look for in a workplace.

Cons

Consistent workplace bullying by the CEO and his minions that have followed over the years from his defunct companies. Persistent pattern of mistreatment of employees is routine. His (CEO) tactics were verbal, nonverbal, psychological and humiliation. The CEO's aggression was outlandish and beyond anything I've ever witnessed in day-to-day business operations. The target client for Hellas is a Public/Private school district. The CEO is the dichotomy of the Texas Law related to bullying. Why a school system would even engage this man is a farce. They need to learn the truth and stop buying a product from the poster child of a classic BULLY. If school districts using the Hellas product knew of the work conditions the CEO and management place on their employees, they would not tolerate it. Texas Education Code, Chapter 37 Section 37.001 (a); Student Code of Conduct: requires each independent school district in Texas to have a local policy that: (7) prohibits bullying, harassment, and making hit lists and ensures that district employees enforce those prohibitions; and (8) provides, as appropriate for students at each grade level, methods, including options, for: managing students in the classroom and on school grounds disciplining students; and preventing and intervening in student discipline problems, including bullying harassment and making hit list. Texas Education Code Chapter 25, Section 25.0342 also offers a parent an opportunity to transfer their child to another campus if their child has been determined by the school to have been bullied. Hellas Construction, however, does not offer this luxury. Get informed and do your due diligence regarding Hellas. There is no certified HR in this company to protect you.
