Pros

I really love working for Mortenson, they provide great benefits, great upward career advancement for quality work, great mentoring structure, competitive pay, and is a family run company which you can feel from the top.

Cons

The projects we are going after and the customers we work with are very demanding - this seems to be the industry norm, but I wish leadership would listen to the cries for support to appropriately staff the team. As with most construction jobs you should expect early days and long days, but expecting 6am-6pm work days hardly allows for proper work life balance, even if you are great at time management.

Pros

- Huge company with a lot of resources. - Cool projects.

Cons

- Pay is not great especially for the amount of hours they want you to put in. - They do not pay for experience. So, it’s a good place to start, but if you have experience, go somewhere else. - They hire and promote way too quickly which means inexperienced people are in charge. - If you work in the field, you will be putting in 50-60 hours a week often and they justify it by saying you get subsistence. Do the math, you’re not getting paid very well at those hours even with subsistence. Also subsistence is a benefit for traveling, not justification for overusing employees. - While a lot of the people are good, it is a very political atmosphere.
