Pros

The company evolves and adapts well to changing markets. Looks ahead to where the work will be. Gives employees the physical tools and technology needed to succeed. Safety and health are important - daily group stretching, reimbursement for gym membership and weight loss programs, no tobacco products allowed on company grounds or on project sites. Lots of good, honest, caring people at this company. It's employee owned, so there's good opportunity for profit sharing.

Cons

Pay doesn't seem commensurate with education/experience. It's almost impossible to get a raise. As with many construction companies, there's too much "crony-ism" which allows incompetent people to do well while the work horses are overlooked. Lots of favoritism - low paid workers getting special trips and bennies because of who they know. It's difficult to advance above middle management - even though it's an employee-owned company, the top brass are almost all descendants of the original 4 brothers who owned the company, even tho several of those folks aren't very competent. The company is still too rooted in old ways - the headquarters is in the middle of nowhere, 2 hours from the nearest airport.

Okay for a Maine employer.

Pros

Flexible schedule when you are not on mandatory 70 hour work weeks.

Cons

Pay in relation to ability of others working in similar roles. Job coordinators, and estimators severely over paid for the amount of time and effort to do their job. People in more junior level roles were blamed many times for things that were actually the managers or coordinators faults.
