Pros

There is tons of work and opportunities to given to you. If you excel, this is recognized for the most part. Advancement in the company can be very quick for those well suited for the role.

Cons

There are tons of opportunities because people are overworked and understaffed. 50 hour weeks are the minimum, and expect that to be the lower end of your work week. 12 hour days are pretty normal, and months of 60+ hour weeks including weekends is becoming the norm. 24/7 jobsites are becoming more normalized. Add in that HITT recognizes only 6 holidays during the year so working through a holiday isn't some exceptional show of dedication, it's the norm. Also, for the past 3 years despite very successful years (Including the pandemic!) we have been told come review time we had to tighten our belts and brace for a recession. Those at the APM and super level and below accepted lower (Or no) raise and very little bonus. Then after the reviews are done the gloomy outlook disappears and it's high fives all around in time for upper management reviews and bonuses. They've effectively stagnated wages for 3 years for anyone not upper management. They thew a small extra bonus at us this year but it pales in comparison to 3 years of sufficient raises.

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.
