Pros

If you do not mind working very long hours, you are almost guaranteed to move up in the company after 3 years max in each role.

Cons

The company operates lean, often expecting lower-level employees to handle tasks that specialists do elsewhere, leading to long hours and difficulty in consistently delivering top-notch work. This can be exhausting, especially for those aiming for excellence. Moreover, many managers see salaried employees' time as expendable since overworking them doesn't incur additional costs, unlike investing in the best systems/software to enhance efficiency.

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.
