We spend nearly one third, or 30% of our time at work in our chosen field or discipline. This is an extraordinary amount over our entire lives. Choosing an organization that you can trust to treat you fairly, give you an opportunity to grow and rely upon for your livelihood can be challenging. At Olshan, our skilled trade professionals are a huge part of our success and family, and we believe every family, whether the one at work or at home, deserves a solid foundation.
With Olshan’s 85-plus-year history, it’s clear we’ve evolved into just such a trustworthy employer: in some locations we have employee tenures of over 30 years—nearly unheard of in today’s transactional and highly-fluid job market.
