Pros

The benefits. There's definitely good people who work there. CEO is a normal guy who understands his employees. They build good stuff.

Cons

Management is garbage. Too many chiefs not enough Indians. Everyone has a hand in hand say into what other departments are doing. Letting employees go without notice. Massive turnover rate and I do mean massive. Underpaid and overworked with the excuse being "well look at your benefits". Benefits don't pay bills. You are only as good as your last bit of work, everything else is a mute point to them. A lot of people in leadership roles are only there because they kissed the right faces along the way up or someone's father knew someone's father so they got a management job. The lack of direction when it comes to a corporate aspect is visibly noticeable if you just spend more than a day there. Upward growth is non existant unless you are willing to absolutely go through the ringer. Diversity??? LOL. Not a thing here. You don't get a turnover rate that high without having some serious issues as an organization. I promise there is better construction companies to work at. Definitely better recruiting opportunities.

Pros

Get to leave at the end of the day

Cons

Management lies constantly. they tell new hires what they want to hear then once in the field they are upset cause of all the empty promises worked like dogs guy in charge of atl already ran 1 business under and now working on the ATL division. Stay away life is much more happier without garney. They will brain wash u with the esop. How about with all the extra money get better insurance and pay better. No respect from management. hourly guys are looked at as pheasants the hourly guys are the back bone behind that profit. But u will never convince the management of that. Do ur self a favor and keep looking. Horrible company

Pros

You work full time. And there are some nice people who work here, some who used to work for other reputable construction firms.

Cons

They will promise me great things for me to come and work for them. They told me they had all this work, and that they were good with safety by having safety meetings every morning, and following safety procedures by the book. All this lies were the opposite. They arent safe at all, some of their firemen will work like animals and don't get breaks nor their crews. If you get your break they tell you you will get 30 min dediction on your time sheet. After two weeks I was laid off because supposedly some project got canceled and the guys who have been there longer had seniority over me. Some of their Superintendents have no peoples skills, unprofessional, and no clue of what's going on. By the way... They burn burn out their people by working them like animals. They will put one or two laborers and burn them to death in jobs were they need 3 or 4 laborers just to save money. Jobs where equipment is needed to do heavy work, they want the laborers to do it by hand to save money with out caring about how much workers will kill themselves.
