Pros

- I got to leave with some of my sanity - If you're just starting out it's okay -co workers- amazing

Cons

- Not really work from home- had a family emergency and asked to work from my parents house -was told no only in extenuating circumstances- if I wouldn't have asked they wouldn't have known the difference - I was very confused by their PTO system and even after having it explained to me (multiple times), I ended up owing them money when I left and essentially didn't get a last check because I didn't understand -Managers fake like they care about your success but its a numbers game at CoCo, the minute you're off they constantly remind you (you see your metrics like 3 times a day even though no one asked) everybody can see them so its like being shamed. They put you on PIP's again acting as if they care but you will get fired. -I was excited about the pay this was my first grown up job and it was okay for a while until you realize your role. Without Content CoCo would be -virtually useless- the pay definitely doesn't match- entry level or not. This also applies for the bonus/incentives/metrics in general- construction has a down and up season but for some reason our metrics and bonus targets never reflected this nor did the pay. I'm not a genius though so. - No point in doing the exit interview- they could care less, the person that did mine actually got short with me when i had to email regarding some questions I had about returning my equipment. They'll refer you to their people and culture team or whatever...again waste of time -For about half of time there, I had equipment that was insufficient and eventually had to get a new computer- this was not taken into account for my productivity for those months- they want to see numbers -They say you will not be on the phone that much - you live on the phone. Even after you have a place telling you not to call or being nasty with you, they'll still encourage you to call, its borderline harassment the way some of them MAKE you call. - Their parameters (not sure if specific to each department) for switching roles INTERNALLY were ridiculous. Lets say you're in a role you can't see yourself in but still want to grow with the company, Lets say you've maybe been struggling with being happy in your job- this has resulted in low productivity but you've been keeping leadership the loop but you get placed on a PIP. There goes your chance of switching roles for a WHILE- by the time you're off the PIP and eligible to apply- you've had already left and found another position, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT I DID AND IM GRATEFUL FOR IT.

Pros

I’ve been with ConstructConnect for several years, and one of the things that continues to stand out is the company’s commitment to both its employees and the communities we serve. I’ve always felt encouraged to grow professionally. Whether it’s taking on new challenges, sharing ideas, or developing new skills, I’ve been given opportunities to make a meaningful impact. Leadership genuinely invests in employee development and creates an environment where learning never stops. This year I had the opportunity to volunteer with AEC Cares in San Diego, and it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. Watching ConstructConnect partner with the industry to help renovate Rachel’s Women’s Center, a shelter for women who have experienced homelessness, was incredibly moving. Hearing the women’s stories and seeing the transformation of the shelter reminded me that our work can extend far beyond the office. I’m proud to work for a company that doesn’t just talk about giving back. ConstructConnect shows up and makes a difference. That same week, I attended the AIA Conference where I had the chance to connect with architects and share how ConstructConnect is working to strengthen our partnerships with the design community. It was exciting to have conversations around the analytics we’re providing and see those discussions spark collaboration and new ideas. It reinforced that we’re listening to our partners and continually looking for ways to create value together. As if that wasn’t enough, I followed an incredible week in San Diego with Gallup Manager training in Atlanta. It reminded me how seriously ConstructConnect takes leadership development. The company recognizes that managers play a huge role in creating an engaging workplace, and it invests in helping us become better leaders for our teams. Employee engagement isn’t just something we talk about at ConstructConnect, it’s something we’re actively working toward every day. No company is perfect, but I’m grateful to work somewhere that encourages growth, values relationships, gives back to the community, and empowers employees to make a real impact. I’m proud to be part of that culture.

Cons

There’s always room to strengthen communication during times of change. It’s great to see our department taking proactive steps to keep everyone aligned and informed as we navigate new workflows and processes.

Pros

I'm confident ConstructConnect is the best place I've worked. From day one, it's clear this company genuinely lives and breathes its People First culture — not just as a talking point, but in tangible, everyday ways I've never experienced elsewhere. The culture is warm, collaborative, and fun. Management is truly invested in your growth — my manager proactively works with me on career development strategies, is upfront about where she wants me to be, and is equally open to my own goals and preferences. That kind of two-way investment is rare. Learning and development are baked into how we work. We have four dedicated "Library Hours" per week to focus on growing our knowledge — whether that's learning more about the company, our products, or our individual fields. It's a small thing that signals a lot. Beyond professional growth, there's real meaning in the work itself. We hear directly from customers how ConstructConnect has helped them land projects and grow their businesses — knowing our work helps build thriving communities is genuinely motivating. Strong Learning & Development — monthly learning offerings from our People & Culture team keep leaders and team members up to speed on the latest tools and protocols. A detailed onboarding program supports new hires as they ramp up. Benefits are generous — open PTO, strong flexibility depending on your team and role, and a hybrid work environment that has given me an excellent work/life balance.

Cons

This is a growing company, and change comes with that. If you struggle with change, take note — but for those who embrace it, the opportunities are there.
