Pros

Decent pay I suppose depending on title. I can not think of many pros for this company. Maybe if one was a superintendent it might be better.

Cons

Modern day slavery. Long hours 65+ a week, 10+ hr days with one 30 min break that is really only 15 min. There is no moving up within the company. They work the hell out of you and when the job is over they fire you. Upper management has no clue what they are doing. They micro manage like you wouldn't believe. You will have 4 different people telling you how to do one task 4 different ways. When it's completed you have failed because each of them is upset that you didn't do the task how they required. Communication between management is horrendous.

Pros

The benefits are fantastic, including the ESOP program. The company cares about your health and offers ways stay healthy and get rewarded for it. The salary isn't too bad as I feel it's comparable with the industry. If the company does well on margin, the bonuses can be like winning a small lottery. We do some pretty cool projects all over the country and they take care of you while relocating. Overall, I love working for McCarthy!

Cons

Obviously everyone wants a higher salary so with that said, it'd be nice to get a decent raise every once in a while instead of the typical inflation raise. The few years between promotions, I've done some incredible work and went above and beyond and felt it went unnoticed. I do tend to agree with other CON reviews when they say some people shouldn't have been promoted when they were. There are times when individuals just are not ready to be promoted.
