Pros

The check has never bounced. The companies that they acquire are usually good, if you're lucky Groundworks company men won't be in a management position over you. The construction side of the business is interesting.

Cons

They claim that one of their values is "embrace meritocracy" meanwhile several of the branch managers and regional managers are only in there because they knew the COO, not because they know anything about the construction industry. Micromanagement is rampant and you'll find that ignoring them and doing it your own way is almost always the best way to get the job done. Lots a paper alpha military worship they have a poster that says "use the laws of combat", that's just buzzwords, we're supposed to be serving our customers not fighting them. The only resemblance that this company has to the military is the abuse, inefficiency, wasting your time with useless meetings, and crappy pay.

Pros

Don’t have to generate your own leads.

Cons

They do not pay you properly. So many mistakes on payroll and they never can get it right. I am talking about tens of thousands of dollars in errors annually.
