Pros

Probably the best team of managers I've had since starting in audit. Very understanding and knowledgeable so many audits were a breeze. Sure, there was grunt work but collaboration was encouraged and no question was ever too stupid. I joined for a better paying position and I got that and more

Cons

Not technically a con, but I didn't want to travel and wanted more stability.

Pay was not competitive, moved PTO to needing 10 years with company for 3 weeks off, managers didn’t listen unless you practically screamed in their face.

Pros

If you're someone who simply needs hours to make ends meet and some decent health benefits, Builders may be a good place for you.

Cons

Advancement is hard, nearly impossible even, and it is possible to work yourself into a corner where you cannot be promoted. From my experience, managers did not have a very positive opinion of the manual laborers and even looked down on them occasionally. Turnover rate is very high, and you'll see multiple managers come and go. I also witnessed quite a bit of discrimination and Title IX issues during my time there. It's a very male-driven industry, so it can be hard on women.
