McKinstry reviews

Out of touch management. Unit managers lack leadership ability and experience. Company does not have the reputation they claim to have within the construction industry. Very, very high employee turn-over. Many unit managers consider employees to be pawns: to be sacrificed whenever the unit manager needs a "scapegoat". Estimating in both mechanical and electrical is seen as "overhead" and only marginally necessary. Still use very, very archaic estimating methods like excel spreadsheets! Very behind the times!

Everyone from the middle management to the VP level are either incompetent or self serving ego maniacs. There is no one left at that level who embraces the original value system of the company or who has any integrity. It's a cut throat and stressful environment to work in. Their value proposition has been over marketed and under delivered, they can't compete in the marketplace. All of their cuts have been at the project management level and all of their hires have been at the manager/executive level yet they wonder why they have an overhead problem. No one takes them seriously anymore, I doubt they'll be a strong contingent in the coming years. They are no longer cutting edge and their sales people are blow hards with a pitch thats grown tired. The three owners have lost control to a group of money hungry narcissists. There is only a shadow of a company that was once in the top 10 places to work in Washington State. Its pathetic and disheartening to watch.
