Pros

This is a great work environment. The leadership of my location is made up of the best of the best in the building automation/ controls world. They hold true to the values of the company, working to ensure the best productivity possible and actually express positivity when goals are met. One of my favorite parts is that the leadership is always level with the field techs. There are no power suits, or clear displays of opulence or wealth. They are very skilled at what they do, but also, they're just one of the guys. Which makes trusting their leadership very easy.

Cons

My primary issue, is the disconnect between the national corporate level, and everyone else. Yes, the company is very successful and continues to grow year after year. But when the monthly update from corporate about "safety" or "ethics" is prefaced with, "last year I was vacating in Cabo with my family", or "I know we can all relate to (insert some inherently wealthy experience)", it shows a desperate lack of awareness. In addition, the push continues for growing revenue, while less than half of the national inflation rate is "all they can manage" to approve for a raise. Do more work for the same compensation. Sounds like a one way ticket to a new employee-funded beach house in Lake Tahoe. If only corporate were run by the guys in Salt Lake, I have a feeling things would be much better.

Pros

You get exposed to everything related to construction. Everyone is very helpful in getting you up to speed with the project and gives you a good start to being a well-rounded APM if your career goals is to be in the Construction Project Management industry. They also take summer interns to their main headquarters to meet the executives and other interns, good way to network.

Cons

If you're an engineering major, you don't really get to practice much engineering knowledge you learn in school, but you still learn a lot of new things in construction.

Pros

Above average medical, dental and vision benefits

Cons

Beyond expectations. Minimal training to be proficient with the expectations. No concept on family time vs work. GM is all about sales and has no construction knowledge. He has no idea on what it takes to do the work and get projects completed. Plumbing and Mechanical division field personel had their own agendas and does not work for the company. Sheet metal division has a great superintendent and good GF. Building Automation only has 1 person that knows all. The unfortunate thing is Harris expects Josh to be all do all. This company runs on the principle complete 90% and spend another 30% to get to the finish line.
