Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- Stock awards supplement pay: Sletten requires no employee contribution to its retirement ownership plan.
- Training has financial backing: Sletten funds outside education and certifications alongside a company-wide in-house program.
- Welding inspectors get extended sick leave: Sletten's Great Falls posting also lists long-term disability coverage.
What critics are saying
- Great Falls welding inspectors need credentials: Sletten requires American Welding Society certification and three years' fabrication experience.
- Remote work still involves travel: Sletten's solar project manager is exempt and requires periodic project-site visits.
- Site access limits flexibility: Boise project engineers must reach all construction-site areas across wide-ranging climates and environments.
What makes Sletten Companies unique
- Ownership stays with employees: Sletten is entirely employee-owned through its employee stock ownership plan.
- Design expertise sits inside Sletten: its preconstruction team includes architects, engineers and estimators.
- Sletten measures sites digitally: its in-house virtual construction team uses three-dimensional scanning and drone photography.
