Pros

- easy to meet with upper management - some people are friendly

Cons

I had a horrible time with immature management which lacked communication. I also often witnessed violence and inappropriate language on jobsites from superintendents. The company lies about being diverse and inclusive. During the election period, a subcontractor said, with a serious tone during a meeting that he was going to bring a gun to the worksite to shoot off protesters if a certain person did not win. My Super acted like there was nothing wrong and proceeded to laugh. I often felt unsafe on the job site. - communication is not the best - clients are often lied to about timelines and deliverables - not diverse or inclusive - offensive language is often used - pay is not great - processes are not streamlined. Deliverables change with every project

Pros

Great projects and some great people.

Cons

Too many bad apples ruin it for others. Safety is a complete joke, don’t do their job not even the bare minimum only have the job because they have the certs but any random is competent to do that job. Laziness kills motivation, get rid of lazy workers
