i had the oppotunity to work for them and they are amazing
Oiler, Fueler (Former Employee), Mt. Pass California –
Pros: best construction company to work for by far
Cons: cant think of any
awesome company all around to work for they take care of empoloyees, there was a open door policy on learning and asking questions and a wealth of knowledgeable professionals, management took good care of us always getting us anything we needed ppe, task training, the occasional pizza party, and of course a wide selection of iron to service and maintian, – more...  my coworkers were family to me and that is the skanska way, the hardest part of the job was leaving my brothers when the job site ended, the most enjoyable part was encountering obstacles related to servicing heavy equip and as one unit using teamwork to accomplish our goals in a safety oriented construction mining production situation – less

Good company to work for.
Superintendent (Former Employee), Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky area –
At the time I was with Skanska the division I was with was going through a transition period. Management was unsure of certain policies and employees were minorly frustrated. As I now know, had I stayed, this period ended and that division of Skanska prospered for quite awhile.

Excellent employer in 2007
Project Superintendent (Former Employee), Suitland, Md –
Pros: as an employee, you were able to bring your ideas to the table, safety record was second to none
Cons: the human resource dept in rockville was useless
I actually enjoyed going to work every day for Skanska. Their projects were chalanging and I had a lot of pride working for them.
Next tier management was exceptional and allowed you to apply your own ideas in to project without micro management. The hardest part of the job, was leaving company.

Skanska was one of the best construction company I ever worked for. Well known and plenty of projects
Administrative Assistant (Former Employee), Atlanta, Georgia –
Pros: it dept, company meetings, employee events, christmas party
Cons: staff development, bonuses not dispersed fairly
A typical day at work consisted of team meetings and meeting with the controller to ensure that expenses had been scanned and transferred to the main office. Keeping the office working smoothly and meeting with the Executives to coordinate various meetings such as Owner Meetings, Subcontractors meeting, etc.

While working on the job site, I learned – more...  the importance of processing Contract Agreements, Certificate of Insurances, Amendments, RFIs and submittal. I learned a lot about the construction industry from grading, to blasting, and building the facility. The importance of Safety and OSHA.

I worked with some very knowledgeable engineers, architects, superintendents, controllers, and executives. We were truly a team and a family.

The hardest part of the job at times were coordinating meetings with Owners and top executives in the corporate office. Or preparing for last minutes unexpected lunches. Also when there was an audit of files and Pay Applications.

The most enjoyable part was working with individuals from various backgrounds as well as subcontractors from other firms. – less

Large decentralized construction company.
Project Manager (Former Employee), Charleston, SC –
Pros: large company with deep resources
Cons: poor compensation and lack of senior leadership
Typical large contractor with lack of strong operational leadership. Good co-workers, however, not extremely motivated. Hardest part of the job was working in a remote location with no real company loyalty.
