Pros

Decent benefits but it take 1 year to get 401K match. It is an ESOP so that is appealing.

Cons

It is not a national brand, you barely hear about what is going on in the other office. Safety is ignored almost completely, ask about how many fatalities they've had before joining. Big company with small mentality. I'm pretty sure salaries are dependig and bonus are provided dependin

Pros

-Great Culture -Exceptional Work/Life Balance for the construction industry -Interesting Project Variety -3 Weeks Vacation, and Generally Great Benefits -Pay is above average but is not adjusted based on location. -Close knit community inside the company that makes it fun to be at work -Rapidly growing company with lots of room for advancement. -Extremely Rapid Growth (Both a Pro and Con)

Cons

-Top Down, office-focused structure. Field can often feel left behind -Advancement is solely based on quantity of projects completed, not quality. -The revere for Bob Brinkmann (and his resistance to change) borders on cult like and fresh ideas need to be injected at the C-Suite Level -Training and Orientation is very sink or swim. The Resources are there but you need to find them. -Extremely Rapid Growth (Both a Pro and Con)

ESOP (beneficial if you work there long enough), 40 hours a week, 3 weeks vacation, extra week vacation and $2,500 trip for 5 year anniversary

Cons

Poor management, little respect for women (definitely a man's world), workload hard to keep up with, lot of office drama and backbiting, forced uncomfortable social situations with lots of drinking, cliques, poor advancement with poor compensation, high turnover rate results in larger workload, upper echelon completely out of touch
