Employees say:"The investment they make in our people to grow professionally and socially is literally unheard of. Victory truly invests in their people. I'll never forget in one of our company wide meetings a new colleague didn't have a car and spontaneously we turned it into a fundraiser for our teammate. We compiled roughly $8K and an owner of the company himself went to the car lot and helped him purchase his first car. For myself, I got engaged last year, right after I took both our families out to dinner to celebrate. I went to pay for the check and found out the owners of the company paid the tab, that is a core memory and feeling I'll never forget."

Victory Home Remodeling

Employees say:"Home Genius Exteriors has a great culture that is based on helping lift everyone up to be the best possible. This is a low stress environment that is focused on doing the right thing for homeowners regardless of how it benefits the company. We are very respected by the community for exceeding their expectations. Not to mention they pay well which makes this job worth it! Overall, this is a great place to work and I have no desire to work anywhere else. I would recommend friends and family to work here because it feels like a big family that is always trying to help everyone grow! There is so much potential to build a career here and I am excited to see where we are a few years from now!"

Shawmut Design and Construction

Employees say:"Everyone does truly care about their job, the customer and their co-workers. It all starts at the top with David Drees. The company was built this way and he exemplifies this himself to all the employees that I have seen him interact with. This is the mentality of the entire management team and it spreads throughout the company. Work hard, be accountable for your job, work as a team, celebrate achievements, have work life balance. We all share these values."

Drees Homes

Employees say:"The culture. It's a combination of things that makes this a great place to work. The work/life balance is awesome. Our company events i.e. boat day/beach day, the many celebrations and parties that are planned throughout the year, volunteering for various events and programs, the emphasis on health and fitness. I think for the most part, management is pretty awesome. All of these things and more make this unique place to work."

Schell Brothers

Employees say:"I truly enjoy our family-oriented culture. From day one you are made to feel welcome and a part of the family. You matter as an individual and for what you do. I believe in the company's mission/philosophy and the culture it promotes is second to none. I am extremely appreciative of the opportunity to work with Smith Douglas Homes and it is a GREAT place to work!"

Smith Douglas Homes

Employees say:"This organization is one of the most charitable and giving company I've ever worked for. From the very beginning I was welcomed and valued as a team member. I cannot see myself working anywhere else."

Hayden Homes

Employees say:"I am fairly new at this company, but I'd like to say that from day one, every single person here has made me feel welcome. I have been in the construction industry since 1995 and this is the best job (culture and benefits) that I've ever had. The Director that I report to is constantly trying to build my confidence. He makes me feel like I can be myself. The work culture here is phenomenal. Being an older employee, I was really searching for a construction firm with great culture. I now have found what I was searching for. I thank God every day for this opportunity. It has been a great blessing for myself and my family. I never want to work anywhere else."

Hoar/HPM

Employees say:"This is a company that values their employees work and home life balance. This is one of the things that specifically drew me in here. In the trades, that's a rarity. This is a huge value for people especially when they have younger kids. There is a large well of knowledge and experience to draw from here and not just from a few people. Profit sharing is very unique and unusual to me. I was fortunate and saw that benefit around profit sharing time and I'm very grateful for that."

LONG Building Technologies

Employees say:"Each year that I have been a part of the organization, I have seen a conscience effort to improve the workplace and culture for the betterment of the employees. I have never been with a company that puts so much focus on building a great work environment and build meaningful employee relationships. I feel trusted to make decisions and I feel appreciated/acknowledged for all the hard work I put into my projects. I am truly blessed to be here; I could not imagine ever leaving THS!"
