Great place to start out and learn
Carpenter Helper (Former Employee), Bartlesville, OK – April 25, 2013
Pros: great place to be. put safety first, and great pay
Cons: management needs improvement
I learned how to pour concrete all the way to finish dry wall paint, so everything from the ground up, my co-workers we're awesome and if I didn't know anything they we're more then willing to help me learn without getting upset. Hardest part of the job was when job lead being over other people having the pressure but i got over it pretty fast

One of the first
Pipe Helper Top Rated (Former Employee), Pineville SC – September 5, 2012
Pros: co-workers were like family
Cons: job ended
This I would have to say was one of the first true construction jobs I had. It was a wonderful experience and the reason I got hooked in this line of work to begin with. I may have been just a helper at the time but getting to know the people that make this way of life a living is priceless. I loved working with each and every kind of skilled employees – more... and they did not mind showing the "Greenhorn" the ropes. – less

Team labor
Electrical Helper (Former Employee), Cameron, TX – July 19, 2012
Pros: available over-time
Cons: after work traffic
At Zachry everyday had its own challenges, starting with the weather, the weather and then the weather.
Safety was the key getting through the day
The hardest part of the day was climbing up and down 200 ft stairs for installations
The most enjoyable was chow time with the crew

Pros: if you don`t care about how you are being treated, work there...

I went to work in Front Royal,Va.,for Zachry. I started working in 2007 for Zachry,the management on this job are bias,and discriminating. They also have double standards. What one does is different for the other.. I was totally caught off guard when the work started about the way the civil supern.,the GF,in civil as well as the civil foremans,tried – more... to run the job. I probally will never work for zachry, again. These people ought to be ashamed for the way they treat people. I am not the only person leaving this job.. – less
