Pros

Mortenson breaks its job assignments into separate distinct areas of responsibility. A separate crew for almost everything. Things are kept more simple and direct. I didn't fully appreciate this until I started working on other sites who don't have this model perfected the way Mortenson does.

Cons

Because of having a well regulated workforce, it is difficult to move up the corporate ladder. And raises are hard to come by.
