      Pros

      Decent pay I suppose depending on title. I can not think of many pros for this company. Maybe if one was a superintendent it might be better.

      Cons

      Modern day slavery. Long hours 65+ a week, 10+ hr days with one 30 min break that is really only 15 min. There is no moving up within the company. They work the hell out of you and when the job is over they fire you. Upper management has no clue what they are doing. They micro manage like you wouldn't believe. You will have 4 different people telling you how to do one task 4 different ways. When it's completed you have failed because each of them is upset that you didn't do the task how they required. Communication between management is horrendous.

      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).
