Pros

They are one of the best companies to work for because they care about you as a employee of the company, not just another person on the payroll. McCarthy is also a very safe company to work for. They will rather have you have the correct tool for the task at hand than mickey mouse the project you are working on. McCarthy generally does not push you to your limit physically because of the risk of you being injured. If it takes four employees to lift something, then thats what it takes. It is a overall better company to work for than any other company in the area.

Cons

Not enough overtime and not enough work that is local at the time

Pros

Great company culture, exposure to some amazing projects, project teams are fantastic, camaraderie with your team, great resources and onboarding to ensure you learn to do your job well. ESOP and bonuses are great.. if you stick it out long enough.

Cons

Pay is not as competitive as other GC's, you can be relatively underpaid as they rely too heavily on preaching about the ESOP (which takes you 5 years to even be fully vested). Can be very political and leadership kinda plays favorites, some people who dont deserve it get promoted quick and others who do deserve it never get promoted. Long work hours and depending on the jobsite it can be pretty high-stress (but thats just construction for ya).
