      Culture is Changing - Construction Project Manager McCarthy Building Employee Review

      Pros

      A lot of good people

      Cons

      Executive leadership has adopted this "perception is reality" mantra which I disagree with. Working in construction, reality is reality and perception is for salesmen. At the end of the day the things that we build need to actually work. Not just look like they work. Leadership is over obsessed with image and sales now than substance and actually being a genuine good builder. They believe that "anyone can build" and they can just hire people to build if they're good enough at "managing" and sales. Problem is they dont listen to their builders they hire so I feel that the SW division is heading for some rough projects in the near future.

      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).
