Pros

Oldcastle is a holding company of sort to a very large number of smaller construction companies across the US. Gives you some options if you should wish to relocate and work for the individual company instead of the Corporate entity. Go for the individual local companies for a great career path in construction.

Cons

In a very long and continuous corporate restructure with a "written" vision, but lacking the internal leadership community to keep the departments on the correct path. Many of the VPs and GMs are focused on their personal growth vs the overall growth of the entire employee structure. Respect and mentoring for individuals who they oversee is at the very bottom of their "to do" lists. In the "corporate" divisions, you are more likely to be tossed under the bus then to be a member of the team riding the path of vision. The "local" individual companies which all report to Corporate are much more intune with their employees, and offer a more pleasant career path.

Pros

Overall, it’s a really good company—probably some of the best benefits in the industry, and that’s one of the main reasons I chose to work here.

Cons

My advice to anyone considering it: be careful about the promises you’re made during the hiring process. Make sure everything is put in writing, and make sure it’s exact—your position, job description, responsibilities, and what is expected of you. Things can change. If the person who hired you leaves or moves on, the person who replaces them may see things differently and change everything. That can include doing away with the position you were hired for and moving you into a completely different role—one you may have never left your previous job to take in the first place.
