Pros

Decent Pay. Little supervision. Flexible hours. People are nice.

Cons

Bonuses are a slap in the face. Supervisors and chain of command out of touch and not competent. This is an agency run by pretend-engineers that no little about design and less about construction. They don't respect the construction oversight role. Come already experienced...training horrible for beginners Not really a CM, very little authority; more of a contract specialist position. Glass ceiling for senior CMs

Pros

Won’t fire anyone, know how much you’re going to make.

Cons

Bad raises. Job growth is very uncommon. Management is incompetent from top to bottom. Not enough people and too much work. Nepotism is rampant in this organization. Unqualified people are promoted. Career bad apples are left without being fired or disciplined. First level managers are useless. They at too much red tape to do the most basic things. Upper levels are arrogant and hard headed.hiring has been frozen for a year yet somehow the ‘bud club’ is promoting people constantly who are in their ‘inner circle’. Hiring actions are super sketchy, names are dropped for specific people to be hired etc. It’s crazy
