Started in 2000, PENTA Building Group very quickly established a résumé of large and noteworthy construction projects, as revenues ballooned to $600 million a year. PENTA currently is completing the Golden Nugget tower expansion and also has built the Aliante Station Casino & Hotel and the Grandview at Las Vegas Timeshare Resort, to name a few.
One of the company’s core values is to “work smart, play hard.” PENTA employees enjoy a work environment shaped around fairness and a teamwork culture, said Jennie Bowman, marketing manager for PENTA Building Group.
The company offers the usual perks of other big contractors: health, dental and vision benefits, along with 401(K), profit sharing, bonuses, vehicle allowances, tuition reimbursement, access to a third-party financial consultant and other benefits. PENTA also has a wellness committee that provides information on healthy living, said Bowman.
“Last year, we had a ‘Biggest Loser’ competition to encourage an active, healthy lifestyle, with a little friendly competition,” Bowman added. “Work-life balance is the cornerstone of PENTA. … PENTA not only ensures its employees have a life away from work but also a satisfying one.”
Additionally, the company supports employee involvement with local charities and nonprofits. The firm recently was awarded a Corporation of the Year distinction from Opportunity Village for its longtime support of the nonprofit.
“There’s a sense of pride when we’ve helped out the community and have come together as a company,” Bowman said.
