Pros

Employee owned. If you are fresh out of school and don't have any experience or real world knowledge you can get promoted quickly (to quickly) but if all you care about is a title and $$ this is the place for you.

Cons

Young inexperienced kids at the helm. No valuable training. What used to make this company great is a thing of the past. Revenue has declined sharply, the top talent has gotten jaded and moved on to other companies. The Companies reputation is slowly going in the hole.

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).
