Q&A With Pankow Builders Employees

Pankow could go a little further with promoting office culture and employee communication. Generally speaking they are ahead of the curve in that regard compared to the industry.

Kim Lum is an approachable CEO who listens to feedback and surveys from the office. He is capable of overseeing the corporate operations but could delegate some attention to specialty groups like technology and support services.

If you are on a building project then it varies with the project. When it is busy you could face 12 hours a day of work. However if you are in the office then the time is typically 40 hours a week and fair predictable.

Very few but there are remote offices for those who live far from the head office.

Pankow uses a review process which includes input from your management and co-workers to decide career progress. Promotions are common enough for experienced employees who need to fill a spot for the company or a given project. It all depends if the employee desires to take on my responsibility.

Pankow makes it easy to take vacations because their process is streamlined and the paperwork has been removed. However due to the work schedules it can be challenging to find time to take a vacation depending upon the position. Typically about 12 days of vacation a year.
