Pros

There are a ton of internal and external resources and education they provide. They're extremely structured for new hires and it's a great opportunity if you're just starting your career in a corporate resource role and want to work for a largely recognized firm. If you're in project management or site operations and show potential, they definitely put their full support behind you to make you successful. Each of the business units function as a family. You get extremely close with the units you work with as well as your own. There's a lot of loyalty within each unit.

Cons

If you don't show an extremely strong Type A personality, or are not a high performer in site ops or project management, you can get lost in the crowd and looked over for promotions. As a corporate resource, there are a TON of internal politics. It's a good job if you're just starting out, but don't expect to stay for more than a handful of years. The culture glorifies overworking and putting your job before literally everything else. They pretend it's just a work hard play hard mentality, but it's an expectation that if you want to be successful, you need to actively show you sacrifice your free time for your job. They handled the pandemic so poorly. It was a very big-brother-is-always-watching kind of mentality. They didn't trust their employees to be productive at home, and mandated everyone return to the office in May of 2020. There was constant / vocal discourse on it, and leadership did not care. There was a ton of turnover from how they handled it.

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.
