Why Callen is My Employer of Choice

Being an Employer of Choice means that you’ve created a reputation for your company as a great place to work. We at Callen believe we have done that by encouraging growth, providing a safe work environment, and providing open communication throughout all departments. As Callen celebrates its 35th anniversary, several staff members explain what working with the company means to them.

NATHAN HOLEWINSKI – I have worked for Callen for two years and I absolutely love it here. There are great people to work with and Callen shows a lot of appreciation for its employees with company outing and bonuses. I came into the company with little experience and the other employees have shown me a lot, walking me through projects step by step. Callen is a great company and there is plenty of opportunity for advancement. Management will work with you when it comes to family emergency or whatever else may happen in life that may require taking some time off. I have found me a lifelong career with Callen – it’s like my second family.

PAULETTE SODEMANN- Having been with Callen for 15 years, I still get excited talking to new clients about their projects. I also love when I get to work with a past client on a new renovation in their home. Working for a family company has helped with creating a work-life balance for me and my family. STEVE TURZINSKI- I have been working at Callen for 21 years, having started as a carpenter helper. Through the years, Callen has given me the opportunity to grow in my career and as a person. I am now the Production Department Manager and am thankful every day I chose Callen to be my employer of choice. CHRISTOPHER WITTMANN – Callen’s company culture is irreplaceable, as it is pure, free of drama, empowering, and trustworthy. While culture is huge, being part of “something special” goes deeper. What we do and how we do it reflects in our positive, ongoing relationships with our clients and the community. We complete work that changes and influences lives for the better. RYAN WOJCZAK- During my time with Callen Construction, I have been given opportunity to showcase my talents. Callen really cares for its employees by providing benefits and paid vacation as well as other perks. Callen has trusted my experience by naming me Project Coordinator for the painting and staining division. As I continue to work with Callen, I am excited I will be able to grow this area of the business. At the end of the day, I’m proud of the work I’m able to produce. HEATHER BRANNAN – Callen, which is known for being the highest quality remodeler in our area, was not hiring when I sought them out for employment. However, I knew I wanted to become a part of the Callen team because of all the wonderful things I heard about the company from NARI members, customers, and even competitors. Callen encourages it’s employees in many ways. Personally, Callen has supported my desire to continue my education and receive additional certifications. I have also been given opportunities to be a guest on the WISN-AM Remodeling Show, participate in NARI and MBA home improvement shows, and submit projects for awards, which have all helped me to grow and advance in my career. Callen is by far the most organized and detailed company I’ve ever worked for, which results in projects staying on schedule and going smoothly. I’ve been given the opportunity to design some of the most functional, innovative, and beautiful projects of my career. I love working for Callen because of the service and dedication our entire team provides to our customers. I’m proud to be part of a group that emphasizes customer satisfaction. DEREK HARCUS-  I’ve been a part of the Callen Construction production team for 10 years. Callen has given me the opportunity to excel and progress in my career. With hard work and dedication, I have moved from the field into a project manager position. This is all thanks to the way Callen supports its employees!
