New City Contracting

My position as an Administrative Assistant at New City Contracting is an umbrella that covers many roles. I joined this company eager to gain knowledge within their range of departments; and the 'growth-mindset' of my mentors allows me to constantly evolve & gain critical skills.

The environment is ever-changing & the pleasantly diverse work culture is one of many enjoyable parts of the job
NCC continuously adapts an innovative community leadership dynamic within their industry.

You'll never feel alone in any challenges you may face at work because they understand that a collaborative organization is fundamental to build a winning-team.

As a ticketed carpenper with 30 years experience at the time that I work for them. I know exactly what I'm doing they specialize in leaky Condor work.You're not really a construction company per se. Most of the work is subdoubt. They had a couple of laborers and a couple of carpenters.  The work was inconsistent the supervisors they had were not very good. They were better at working on there needs. Then they were knowledge on the job. Not very well organized high staff turnover the wage is not competitiperiod

I have worked for this company for 9 months and the company has gone through 5 employees that I know of. They hire their Supervisors and Superintendents on as labourers, foremen, and supervisors. They hire you on as salary and then they expect weekends out of you and tell you they will reimburse you but they don’t. My Superintendent found another job and he had 40+ days of banked overtime hours and they didn’t give him a penny. I could go on but there isn’t enough room to type it all.

It's an amazing company and the employees feel positive, intend to stay and are motivated to exert extra effort at work. It is an organization that is highly adaptive, innovative, inclusive and responsible to the changing needs of its customers.

I learned how to manage scheduele, items of work, workers, clients, how to manage and solve problems, how to talked withh owners, how to lead the workers, I learned from the very bottom how to do the job, because you have to be at the bottom to understand how everything works, the workplace culture IS hard, you have to work in a world of men, you have to stand and learn how to work hard to earn a place, to get better everyday.

- since day 1 they've helped me grow as an individual and in my position
- 85% of the people that work for this company have been working here for a very long time
-  HR is very professional and they value employees
- president and COO are both wonderful to work for and value employees
- team atmosphere instilled from the front entrance all the way up to the president
- sadly left because i was moving my whole life back home

Pros:
- Friendly coworkers
- Benefits

Cons:
- Upper management doesn't really know how to run a tight ship
- Employer isn't knowledgeable with the construction industry. He could care less about workers safety, as long as you finished your assigned task quickly that's all that matters. Taking shortcuts is fine.

TDLR; the job is ok. Speed is the name of the game. Get your work done quickly ASAP even if you deliver low quality product to the client.
