Pros

Benefits are awsome for most part

Cons

I have been in construction for 10 years. I have never seen the most inexperienced. Gossiping unskilled horrible people in the world. They don't take care of their equipment. They smoke weed on the job. They can't leave anything flat. And they sfor 20 minutes every 10 minutes. It seems like I've never seen. I've never seen such a waste of time and money.

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).
