The McDonald York Culture

While the only true way to discover a company's culture is to experience it firsthand, we will try to summarize the points we believe make us unique.

A builder mentality.
We are not paper pushers. A passion for building and craftsmanship drives us to excellence.


Lofty Goals.
Perhaps we are naive, but our never-ending goal is to be the best builder in the Triangle. Period


Relationships are key.
Whether it be with our own employees or our outside partners, the personal importance of relationships building is critical.


Performance Driven.
No slackers are allowed. People are counting on you and vice versa. No exceptions.


It is all about the team.
Well-built buildings and companies are not constructed by individuals. Our experience tells us that the team approach works.


Spreading the wealth.
Through a number of financial vehicles, when McDonald York does well, ALL employees benefit, not just the lucky few at the top.


The family legacy lives on.
Being family-owned, the feeling of "family" permeates the environment in each McDonald York office and job trailer.


We've got "your back."
We could fill books with stories of how individual McDonald York employees have been assisted way beyond normal expectations on both professional and personal issues.


A better "you" through training.
Continued development is taken very seriously at McDonald York—with the goal of moving our employees ahead faster, better and smarter.


Safety is our first priority.
Maybe it is because we are family-owned, but there is nothing more important to us than helping to insure that our employees return home safely to their loved ones each night.


Honesty above all.
Perhaps it is old-fashioned, but our work truly is our bond, and the concepts of truth and integrity are alive and well at McDonald York.


Last but not least, we make it fun.
Our business is very demanding — which is all the more reason for taking every opportunity to celebrate our successes. A "work hard, play hard" approach overlays our culture.

We take pride in working hard to build some of the finest buildings in the Triangle. But that is not all we do. Construction is hard work, but we find ways to play hard too, fostering interests, talents and friendships through activities that extend beyond the workday.
