Pros

The salary and benefits were good. The people at Mortenson were always great. Room for growth both vertically and horizontally.

Cons

Non flexible with with from home - leadership preached that there would be, but that fell on silent ears. Sometimes a gentleman's club but that's not abnormal from other construction companies.

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.
