Pros

If your lucky to work at the office the culture is progressive, diverse, and very energetic. Health insurance is amazing with low co-pays

Cons

My review is limited to the Phoenix office. There isn’t a gate-keeper or best practices for hiring field professionals as part of their Phoenix expansion. Expect toxic and/or incompetent Project managers, project engineers & superintendents. With their mentality of “the job is the boss” your work-life balance is non-existent, and fundamentals in decency, respect, & humanity is disregarded at the snap of a finger. The software packages for field operations would beg a guffaw if it wasn’t sad given the company boasts billions in revenues. The company doesn’t offer stocks to field operations the way other GCs do. They give abysmal pay increases in regions that experience soaring inflation; and there compensation isn’t competitive for the region. Don’t bother notifying upper management.

Starting a new office in a new region can have its challenges. Clayco is the most creative builder in America, and our success is contributed from a dynamic collaboration between ownership, designers, and builders. There is often a learning period to convert from the traditional general contracting processes. Those that are patient with the process and can see the big picture will be rewarded with an extremely fulfilling career with Clayco. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Pros

Very good pay & benefits.

Cons

Too many upper management bosses and no one really pays attention to the Project or their needs except when on site for Meetings, every other week. On site upper management had no idea of construction, techniques, scope writing, etc.
