Pros
Most employees care about our customers - the people who use our products and come to depend on them to run their businesses successfully. Houston office is very informal and employee-focused - designed to make everyone feel included and needed. Historically, a great place to work.
Cons
ConstructConnect is an integration of 8-9 smaller companies, each successful on their own and often competitors with each other. Now we are all being "forced" to forge new paths, which is a good thing, however, there seems to be a lot of politics involved with decision-making (which is true for any company). There is a lot of uncertainty for employees outside the main office (Cincinnati) who have devoted their careers to their company's and customers' success, only to be left out or left behind. The corporate office seems to be trying to force employees to be happy - that's not how it's done. Either the culture and environment is inclusive and welcoming or it is not. Corporate office seems somewhat "heavy handed" - instead of analyzing how the other companies do things, they dictate their policies and solutions - sometimes they are not the most efficient or best solutions. Company doesn't "believe in" peer evaluations or performance reviews. If you aren't living up to expectations, you are put on a Performance Improvement Plan - that's a definition of the opposite of good leadership.
