Pros

Holder leadership is on the young side and if you fit well with the company it is a great place to grow and advance very quickly.

Cons

As noted above if you fit well with the company and their values then you may advance very quickly. That said if you dont fit the mold of a Holder person it can be a very difficult place to be. I was with them for about 8 years and the first few years were good but then management changed and I found that some of what I was being asked to do was unethical and really made for a difficult work environment. I am use to long hours being in construction but Holder has a culture that promotes people working into the night even when they are not productive. I saw a lot of people just sitting around the office after 5, not really doing anything but afraid to go home because it is frowned upon. We had a very high turn over rate and upper management really did not care. They put a high value on the Great Place to work and make such a big deal about it that everyone is required to fill it out and if there are any negative marks they typically have a company stand down to discuss why this is so important to the company. During my last few years there was a lot of frustration within the company with how they treated people.
