What It's Like to Work Here

Considering how many of our days are spent working, life is simply better when the work is meaningful, challenging, and accomplished with people who share one’s sense of joy and purpose. At CPM, we work collaboratively. Everyone has a say—and everyone is heard. We keep our doors open and strive first to understand.

We believe education is a path, not a destination. We have made personal and professional development an integral part of our culture. When our people thrive, our business and our clients also prosper.

Though we’re serious about producing great results, we believe fun and laughter are necessary ingredients for a great work environment. Throughout the year we host company-wide events to celebrate successes, holidays, or simply enjoy each other’s company; we share responsibility and pride in our work.

And at the end of the day, we leave our CPM family and join our families at home. We believe striking a balance between those two worlds is essential for a company with employees who wouldn’t want to work anywhere else.

Our Recruiting Philosophy

We recruit project managers, construction managers, planners, architects, budget/accounting specialists, administrative management and other experts. We are careful to select employees of outstanding character who have the potential to make valuable contributions to our work. We are committed to hire and retain a diverse group of employees and are dedicated to ensuring we all feel connected and included. These varied skill sets and backgrounds help us meet, and often exceed, ours and our clients’ goals.

This company consistently demonstrates how much it values its employees by providing great benefits, quarterly bonuses, fully stocked lunch room, quarterly employee events (now that COVID is over), a generous number of paid holidays, quick attention to employees’ workspace needs, providing employees the opportunity to telecommute and regular company-wide lunch meetings in which staff can see each other and build meaningful relationships. The leaders demonstrate unselfishness and sincere care for the all of their staff.

In our industry, I don't think you will find a better place to work than CPM. This company has strategically placed itself in successful market segments and has developed relationships that perpetuate our future work. Personally, I feel that I will have plenty of work through the next 10 years or more. This company is the most self-aware and respectful workplace that I have ever worked for or have been associated with. The organization does not discriminate, slur, or devalue anyone based on their personal status. We are constantly provided with new challenges that we overcome and document, so that we learn how to do our job better every day.

I have been in the workforce many years and have worked for several different companies. No company has served its employees to the level CPM has. The consistent communication, the approachability of the leadership, the employee benefits, the sincere expressed care for the employee's personal lives, the 401K retirement match, the free lunch supplies, the workspace accommodations, the quarterly bonuses, all make CPM stand out as an employee oriented company that make me want to be employed here for the remainder of my career. Please honor this company with a first place award!
