Pros

The company has GREAT benefits and takes care of its employees as far as health and retirement are concerned

Cons

If you are trying to find a work/life balance here, this is not the place for you. The hours are long and it leaves little time for any type of social life unless your married, however I hear at some location and districts the relationships with co-workers are a lot more outgoing and the work/life balance is a lot better then on my current job-site. I have not experience any relocation or expense issues but I hear that is a big problem. When it comes to site relocation, management, in some cases, do not consider your situation and typically give you a less than a week to move you and your family. It all depends on your PM and PS at the job-site which determines the demeanor of the site and workers.

Pros

This company has great leadership from Area Superintendents and above.

Cons

If the process is not learned in the beginning, then the construction portion may be more difficult because of how KPI's are reviewed.
