Pros

You will learn a lot about the industry. A well known, high visibility company. Had some amazing jobs to work on, and some fantastic coworkers..vacation and sick days were not lumped together as " PTO("paid time off" )as is the case with many companies . Quarterly functions to address " state of business unit operations"was well handled as a nice social function/ cocktail party....A perk. some nicely executed social functions helped smooth the edge of being expected to be at company's beck and call at all times.

Cons

The truly excellent and visionary aren't acknowledged... Serious old boy network, and nepotism runs rampant. You can be the best in your field, but if you aren't one of the " favored ones" ... Start looking to move elsewhere because although you won't be fired.... You'll be pigeon-holed and not promoted or compensated as you should be. Very long work hours are the norm and expected without adequate compensation. Frequent late night and weekend work. Bonus structure very unfairly distributed to really only acknowledge field ops.... If you are considered support in any way.... Forget any meaningful bonus. All in all .... Company has a lot of potential not realized

Pros

Opportunity for advancement is second to none. Support systems and resources are there, hard workers can and will move up in the company quickly. Compensation is what I would describe as competitive/average, you won't get rich but you won't struggle either. Generous PTO offerings and all the bank holidays are paid days off, at least for salaried staff.

Cons

Corporate feel, corporate policies, corporate everything. You need to have a strong stomach for cringe inducing, insufferable corporate nonsense that will be injected in your day to day by executives that have a poor understanding of how to effectively manage trade partners, job site relations, and clients alike. Also, you will work like a dog, work life balance is non existent. The needs of the project or demands of the owner are expected to come first, reinforced by a culture of 'workaholism' that permeates all facets of the company. Typically at least 10 hour days 5 days a week for operations staff, large projects can get far worse than that, like inhumane expectations for work hours and production.
