      Pros

      Decent pay, ESOP, and good people for the most part. Good insurance, benefits, and PTO.

      Cons

      Central employees think they're hot sh*t and have toxic attitudes. It always seems like a rat race to push your coworkers down in order to make yourself look better. Extremely poor training and onboarding processes (AKA none) which can lead to new college grads left demoralized and confused. McCarthy says they're all about development until it actually comes time to develop someone. PEs here are treated like idiots. McCarthy will work you like a dog. Expect 55-60 hour weeks at a minimum.

      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).
