Pros

You will learn a lot, and the opportunity for growth is there. You will also gain invaluable experience that will look great to other general contractors should you decide to leave. Good retirement plan and insurance plan.

Cons

You will work a lot of hours (50 - 60 hrs/ week minimum) and is the only way you will get promoted. Moving for a project is likely an can also get you promoted faster. Vacation policy is weak. Very poor work life balance.

Pros

-The nature of the work is both interesting and challenging. -You will never be bored. -Great health benefits.

Cons

-You are expected to work 60+ hours in a normal week. During more hectic project phases 60 easily becomes 80 hrs/week. Your weekends are not yours. You don't get compensated for all the extra time yet it is still expected/required of you. -It's all about who you know (who you suck up to) not what you know. -Hard to get support (both personal and task-related) from superiors. -Minority retention is horrible.
