Pros
When I started Construction Staff was very team oriented and helped each other.
Cons
Over the past year things have changed tremendously. Now Construction Managers are throwing each other under the bus over bonuses. Director of Construction is not paying bonus even when it’s earned. Management doesn’t give you an explanation of your bonus, they just expect you to be grateful for whatever they decide to pay you. I caught them changing negative surveys from one CM to me but it took me 2 months to get them to admit it. I was told they would make it right but instead I lost close to $3000 and the other CM was awarded Builder of the Year. There is some shenanigans going on at the top and we are loosing Construction Managers faster than they can hire more. Of course this just adds more work to the rest of us with the understanding we are in a no win situation. When you are covered up with houses and homeowners are not happy it just continues to create more and more negative surveys. In turn we are working harder and responsible for more but making less because of surveys and bonus structure. I see why a lot of people are leaving and I hope there is still some jobs out there for me because it’s time for me to make a change as well.
