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.
