NEW: Primetime breaks ground on $1.2B mixed-use tower in Fulton Market — Read announcement

The benefits that matter, taken seriously.

Construction is hard work. We believe the people doing it deserve healthcare without premiums, retirement that vests immediately, and a pipeline that takes them from apprentice to executive.

Zero-Premium Healthcare

Medical, dental, and vision coverage with $0 employee premiums for individual and family plans, including domestic partners.

Immediate 401(k) Vesting

8% company contribution vests on day one. No waiting period, no matching threshold, no graded schedule.

Profit Sharing

Annual profit-sharing distributions to all full-time employees regardless of role or tenure. 2024 average: 11.4% of base salary.

20-Day Sabbatical

Every 5 years of tenure, every Primetime employee earns a fully-paid 20-day sabbatical — no questions asked, no projects required.

Education Reimbursement

Up to $12,000/year for relevant education — including certifications, undergraduate, and graduate programs at any Illinois institution.

Mentorship Pairing

Every new hire is paired with a senior mentor in their function within 30 days. Cross-functional pairings by request.

Flexible PTO

Unlimited paid time off for salaried roles, with a four-week minimum we actually enforce. Plus 12 paid Chicago-relevant holidays.

Wellness Stipend

$1,800/year wellness budget for fitness memberships, mental health services, ergonomic equipment, or financial coaching.

The pipeline that starts in Chicago Public Schools.

In 2019, Primetime launched Pathways — a $42M apprenticeship program built in partnership with Chicago Public Schools, City Colleges of Chicago, and the Chicagoland Regional Council of Carpenters.

Six years in, the program has placed 412 apprentices into journeyman-track positions. 78% are CPS graduates. 64% are first-generation tradespeople. And every Pathways apprentice earns a starting wage of at least $28/hour with full benefits — from the first day they pick up a tool.

Why people stay.

I started as a Pathways apprentice in 2020. Six years later, I'm running a $40M school renovation in my old neighborhood. Primetime didn't just hire me — they invested in me.

22 years here. I've outlasted three economic downturns and never been laid off. Primetime keeps its people through the cycles. That's not common in this industry.

I left a national firm to join Primetime. The difference: every project I work on is in the city I live in. My commute is shorter and my impact is bigger.
