McCarthy Building reviews

It seems like there is a lack for experienced staff. Promotions are not taken as seriously as they should, and therefore relationships with Owners and Subcontractors are ruined by the inexperienced. Also, there is a huge turnover for Superintendents, this is due to the crazy work hours they are asked to commit to. Most of the McCarthy mentality does not include work-life balance.

Too many people are being promoted that do not have the skills, both technical and emotional, for the positions. Expectations that employees work excessive hours is unrealistic. Just because a person works 50 hrs a week does not make them a better performer than someone who works 40 hrs a week. It could be that they are just unorganized or spinning their wheels. There is a huge disconnect between Upper Management (the Ivory Tower) and the project staff. There has recently been a lot of turn-over. Some of this is due to people who think they should be promoted and getting passed over so they leave. Too many people are promoted not because of what they know but who they know. There are way too many lemmings and not enough true leaders.
