Pros

Fun culture. Pay and benefits package are superior to most admin jobs you can find in Houston without needing a degree. Bonus and stock sharing are not common anywhere else.

Cons

Not really a “Con” as much as common sense. If you’re looking for growth in an office setting, it’s not here. Overhead positions are limited as this is a construction company, and the employment demand is for construction professionals. If you want growth, you need to find a way to grow in a direction that the company has a need, not assume you’ll earn advancement for being a great admin.

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).
