Pros

Great leadership under Cliff Chow. Success starts at the top as every company / team needs a Captain whom is respected and admired by his colleagues and competition - that’s Cliff. He brought a few people from Headquarters to help implement the new processes and transition into the NYC building culture - noted is Jason Hair. You’re not just an employee with a ID badge, management knows everyone by name and makes for an inviting and comfortable atmosphere.

Cons

Just breaking into the NYC market sector, the jobs aren’t as abundant in numbers as they were with Americon. Work force in the NYC office has been but my nearly 50% (in my estimate), since January 2017. Though this number was by design and targeted during the acquisition, it was tough to see colleagues let go after years working together. I would have to agree with the business decision to let half the company work force go, simply because the numbers didn’t make sense. Smart business move.

Pros

Compensation and benefits are competitive compared to some general contractors.

Cons

* Poor work-life balance. Weekend work was frequently expected without additional compensation or meaningful recognition. * Role expectations were unclear. As an Assistant Project Manager, I was regularly expected to perform superintendent duties in addition to my own responsibilities, creating unrealistic workloads. * High turnover and frequent leadership changes resulted in inconsistent direction and a lack of support from upper management. * Inexperienced employees were promoted into Project Manager positions without sufficient training or mentorship, which often impacted project execution and placed additional pressure on other team members. * During my pregnancy, I did not feel supported by management. Instead of working with me to plan for maternity leave, I felt increasing pressure through unrealistic expectations and heightened scrutiny, leaving me with the impression that the company preferred I resign rather than take protected leave. This was one of the most disappointing aspects of my experience. * Communication and employee support depended heavily on the individual manager, leading to inconsistent treatment across teams. * Long hours and expectations to constantly be available made it difficult to maintain any work-life balance.
