Pros

This company utilizes the best technology in the industry as a multifamily MEP subcontractor. They work with some of the biggest multifamily names in the country, and install the pinnacle of lighting, low voltage, telecom, and fire alarm systems.

Cons

The benefits are great for individuals, but not for family. It is a classic corporate culture, so often times who you know within the company is more important than performance. Salaries are not inflation adjusted and raises must be asked for. The bonus structure is a web of complication; your performance must be near perfect (if you get a bad project [difficult client, bad field resources, bas estimate] forget about it), after that it takes an inexplicable amount of time to be paid out, and disbursement stops at your project manager who decides whether or not they would like to give you a bonus and for how much. There is an overly complicated process for everything, as well as a system of micromanagement that adds a substantial amount of work to managing a project.

Pros

-Good working culture specifically for younger individuals looking to “work hard play hard” -Resources galore -Extensive state of the art campus

Cons

-There is a strong “suck-up” culture, whoever spends the most time currying favor with management appear to receive the most opportunities and perks -Underwhelming salaries for the amount of work, and the amount of flashy cars, and several thousand-dollar parties, among other things displayed at every corner of the office and work events -The culture tends to have a “high school environment” where people talk openly about others’ personal lives seeking retribution -One thing you can bet on is the number of empty promises from management, specifically executives
