Thanks for taking time to leave a review. Building a start-up requires a degree of flexibility and patience as processes and standards are created and business pivots occur. We are excited about the evolution of our maturing operations procedures, tech platform advances, quarterly field performance bonus opportunities and many more enhancements coming in the future!

Pros

A great company to to begin the journey of becoming a project manager. They allow you the time necessary to learn the role and expectations of a project manager

Cons

Low to minimal communication between upper management and field project managers. Expectations are initially set upon hiring, and you are given given full control to become productive without guidence or direction to resources.
