Pros

The over all compensation and challenging work. We build multiple stadiums, wind farms and confidential projects across the country. I have worked for other companies and I know many co workers who would agree that Mortenson treats its employees well, and that the grass is not greener on the "other side".

Cons

The Challenging work requires much from a family, whether it's the average 60hr work week for on-site management or the travel (moving) from project to project, but that is all part of construction. The job is always changing.

Pros

- Huge company with a lot of resources. - Cool projects.

Cons

- Pay is not great especially for the amount of hours they want you to put in. - They do not pay for experience. So, it’s a good place to start, but if you have experience, go somewhere else. - They hire and promote way too quickly which means inexperienced people are in charge. - If you work in the field, you will be putting in 50-60 hours a week often and they justify it by saying you get subsistence. Do the math, you’re not getting paid very well at those hours even with subsistence. Also subsistence is a benefit for traveling, not justification for overusing employees. - While a lot of the people are good, it is a very political atmosphere.
