Pros

Lots of opportunity in the energy groups; great benefits and compensation; family values; if you are a good employee and demonstrate Mortenson values they will take care of you!!

Cons

With rapid growth come some growing pains. Your individual experience at Mortenson can depend heavily on your immediate supervisor, most are are great, others could work on their leadership skills. My advice to new hires push through the first supervisor if it's not great, most are really great, and want you to be successful.

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.
