Pros

If you are coming straight out of school, this is a great place to learn and gain experience.

Cons

The Dallas office Sr Mgmt is completely disconnected from staff. The top mgrs that aren't giving you lip service have their hands tied. Projects are stretched with not enough staff or inexperienced staff. Burnout is a common problem. Teams are often broken up to fill immediate needs. Yes men are promoted, not the builders. If you tell the GM what he wants to hear, you're getting promoted. Little work has been won in Dallas due to efforts to chase work in other states, which has proved unsuccessful. Too many policies in place to keep employees from forming relationships with industry partners. We can't even go to lunch with architects!!!

Pros

Opportunity for advancement is second to none. Support systems and resources are there, hard workers can and will move up in the company quickly. Compensation is what I would describe as competitive/average, you won't get rich but you won't struggle either. Generous PTO offerings and all the bank holidays are paid days off, at least for salaried staff.

Cons

Corporate feel, corporate policies, corporate everything. You need to have a strong stomach for cringe inducing, insufferable corporate nonsense that will be injected in your day to day by executives that have a poor understanding of how to effectively manage trade partners, job site relations, and clients alike. Also, you will work like a dog, work life balance is non existent. The needs of the project or demands of the owner are expected to come first, reinforced by a culture of 'workaholism' that permeates all facets of the company. Typically at least 10 hour days 5 days a week for operations staff, large projects can get far worse than that, like inhumane expectations for work hours and production.
