Pros

Variety in work, national footprint, huge complex projects and great media attention, large company support structure (IT, training, fleet management, VDC, etc). Cool swag and great bonuses. At times the company does really care about the community (volunteering and fundraisers) but that doesn't always happen in regional offices.

Cons

The safety department is currently burning itself down. Ever since Builders and Company merged together in late 2024, it has been a mass exodus of safety professionals. New leadership is pushing the Builders safety out and nobody at the top is concerned. Let them be their own demise. It was good while it lasted. Wouldn't recommend joining if you're in safety. Field Management/Ops side seems decent and has a good future, but if they can't get a decent safety team back together, the work will fail. There's a lot of dissension at the top in Southfield recently. It's a shame because I really enjoyed my time there, up until the last 6-9 months.

Pros

One of the best things about working here is the culture — it genuinely feels like family. Leadership doesn't just talk about caring for employees; they live it. Servant leadership truly cascades from the top down, and you can feel it in everyday interactions. Leaders are engaged, approachable, and make every employee feel valued and heard. Beyond the people, the culture itself is beyond pleasant — it's the kind of environment where you actually look forward to coming to work. Add in the flexibility of working from home and a solid benefits package, and this is a workplace that truly invests in its people.

Cons

The work can be fast-paced at times, the high standards here keep things moving, which is a good thing but can occasionally feel like a lot. And when you genuinely love what you do, it can be hard to disconnect at the end of the day. Honestly, those are the only cons I can come up with.
