Pros

Pay Coworkers are good people Employee turnover is massive so you never get sick of your co-workers because they won’t be there long.

Cons

Inexperienced in all trades. Will have some trades doing other trade’s work. If you plan on doing work you were hired for, you are completely out of luck. Everything was rework due to inexperience and complete oversights by management. The CEO has no experience in construction. The project i was on was over $50 million over budget mid way through completion. Management nepotism. The company gives off the vibe that they are very successful and have created something great, but in actuality it is a dysfunctional mess that is hemorrhaging money. This company will not be around in 5 years doing what they’re doing.

Pros

3 years ago when hired, I fell in love with this company. I drank the kool-aid, and a lot of it. I even wrote a glowing review and encouraged my team to do the same. That changed when the owner and leadership could nor live up to its own standards and mission statement. The Pro's: Mike K can really sell a vision and string employees along. But Mike and senior management cannot deliver. To the tune of $30 million wasted on reckless decisions. There is a fine line of being a visionary and being reckless. I hate when companies experiment building buildings.

Cons

Week to week, month to month was choas and putting out fires. I'm surprised the MN DOLI or OSHA has not intervened in their experiment of a building in Oakdale. To make matters worse in their desperation for cash they developed Norhart Invest. I had high hopes for this company and witnessed a lot of great outstanding talent leave. If you want to be under appreciated, your expertise and experience ignored, this is your place. I had high hopes and expectations for Norhart, but their survival is on the line.
