Pros

- Nice office - Surprisingly delicious and affordable cafeteria (I know, who knew that existed?) - good location - some people very nice - great upper leadership

Cons

- Pay mediocre at best - Some people very mean - If you don't have an MBA or degree in an engineering or construction management field, opportunities for movement vertically or laterally are limited.

Pros

Perks, peers, and location. If you like weight in the decisions you make, the roles here allow that. The system is so fragile any good or bad decision you make ripples across the company.

Cons

Middle-management, particularly in corporate, is this company's kryptonite. The corporate overhead middle management teams are riddled with incompetence. The newer managers with less than two years in the roles are not bad people, their struggles are in the fact that McKinstry doesn't prepare anyone for their unattainable expectations. Hence high turnover in these newer folk. The managers that have held their positions for over 6+ years are the ones that will force sloppy initiatives constantly. There is no cross-functional collaboration in corporate services. The extent of the working relationships are passive aggressive and fake. I've witnessed and have been victim to management bullying. When I have to proactively use email as a record to legally protect me from my manager, you know there's something wrong.
