Pros

Maggie really takes care of her people. This company is family oriented. We pull together as a team when a fellow man is down and chip in to help out. We are well compensated to do what we do. Lots of hours and hard work but the reward of what we do is well worth it all. The team atmosphere is another thing that I enjoy.

Cons

We do run things pretty lean in regards to staffing. Everyone runs around to get stuff done but that brings the team closer together.

Pros

Sales oriented company geared toward bonus incentives and rewarding performance for all levels of staff. Team oriented at the store level as a comprehensive reward system that promotes helping others. Very good training for real world private business model at the manager level. Accountable for all aspects of the local operation and offers responsibility equal to compensation opportunities.

Cons

Poor initial training for new entry level staff to the construction industry. Much of the training is antiquated or non-existent for the construction knowledge needed to sale buyers who are more and more dependent on professional expertise.

Pros

Overtime available. great group of guys to work with.

Cons

Very poor pay, management doesn't have a clue what's going on, can't schedule jobs correctly. Make you work like a dog, without taking care of you for raises. They just want to get their bonuses.
