Pros

I did meet a lot of wonderful people, but very few of them were in upper management.

Cons

Expected to work 12 to 14 hours a day, 6 days a week, which wouldn't be bad...if you didn't get paid a salary. They take serious advantage of their salaried employees. Hit and miss with management at the site level. Worked for 2 great Project Managers, but the 3rd was so ineffectual that it was pathetic. Same with the Construction Managers and the Project Engineers. Hires some employees and puts them in positions they are unqualified for simply because they are the significant other of someone else. Director of Construction didn't have a clue what was going on half the time and would often change policies to get more production while sacrificing safety and quality. Serious disconnect between corporate and site management. Rewards bad behavior and punishes good behavior, then cannot understand why people are leaving. High turnaround. Company always seemed to be having cash flow problems because bills to certain vendors were always late, which meant we couldn't get materials at the job site level. Then got mad at the sites because we couldn't finish things. Company states...Safety, Quality, Production...but it's more like...Production, Production, Production. Who cares about the Cost of Safety or Cost of Quality.

Pros

The salary and benefits were appealing to me.

Cons

Executive management seemed reptilian and apathetic. RES Services senior management did not acknowledge my existence or work product. I compare the job with RES Services to a rodeo bull ride. I tried to hang on as long as I could but the psychological pain was too extreme and eventually I got thrown off into the dirt.
