Pros

On the management end (non-field operations), Mortenson is a solid company to work for. The Phoenix location has a small-business feel and there is generally a lot of support for you in your role. There are great perks and the company is very committed to creating a positive culture. Benefits are good, salary is good. They also pay overtime.

Cons

Your upward mobility is typically pretty defined so role changes or diversity in what you do is hard to achieve. You will work weekends. You will work late.
