Pros

They have good health insurance.

Cons

The most toxic environment I’ve ever worked in. I saw an altercation between supervisors get physical. Expect to teach yourself everything, and supervisors to cuss you out on the field in front of workers, after they haven’t taught you anything.

Toxic Work Environment for Minorities

Anonymous employee

Pros

There are a lot of diverse projects, and opportunities to learn. Because the company is so big, there is always work and you will always be busy

Cons

You'll have no chance of a promotion or any forward movement if you are not a white male. Very condensing attitude towards minorities and women. They claim to be inclusive, but management have created a toxic work environment for all minorities. Extreme nepotism - if you're not related to anyone in management, or have the last name "Walsh", you will be overlooked and they will take your place. No clear direction or management. Office pretty much runs itself. VPs are in constant competition, so relocation is the same as quitting. If you take a job at another region within the company, you will be fired for disloyalty. The story is known by everyone. Employees are replaceable. A VP literally screamed at everyone on a national conference call saying that half of the employees in the room could be fired, and the company would still be profitable. Never feel safe or secure in your job unless you are related to someone higher up.

Pros

Pay is decent but necessary to attract and retain employees in this toxic environment. Many great people within the staff but all are pigeon holed with no real ability to advance within the family owned business

Cons

Deplorable culture, Family bureaucracy, many have The Napoleon syndrome, at the top. buildings group leadership is very unpolished and a micro managers. This is one company you can’t confuse intelligence with education and overall a less than impressive company.
