Pros

1) Employer profit-sharing plan provided after one year of service. Historically, 19% of an individual's salary is contributed to an account and vested after 5 years. 2) Quarterly peer meetings/trainings. During these meetings, you have the opportunity to connect with individuals from other job sites. You also might recieve exposure to a scope of work that you have yet to manage. Lunch is provided. 3) Opportunity to work on community-impactful projects such as hospitals, biotech labs, and schools.

Cons

The most emotionally unregulated and disgusting people that I have met in my life work at McCarthy. While the company promotes strong core values (Genuine, We Not I, and All In), these principles were often not reflected in day-to-day operations. A noticeable shift in behavior occurred only when upper management was present, which made the culture feel inauthentic. Be mindful if you bring prior experience as it might lead to being overloaded with responsibilities beyond your role, as leadership may assume you can simply “handle it.”
