Pros

The leadership style combination between autocratic leadership and empowerment leadership would give the futuristic cutting edge per se, to create a diversified ultimate decision making policy. Autocratic leadership, which is a style that leaders who make decisions on their own without consulting employees enjoy and empowerment, which is a practice in which managers lead employees by sharing power, responsibility, and decision making with them (Boone, L. E., & Kurtz, D. L. 2009 p. 260-270). This mixture creates responsibility and accountability. If the leader is made to lead then, in return they will make certain key decisions based on experience, proven results and a “pocket” of advisors that will…show more content… "It is not easy to do." (Amble, B. 2006) In regard to the previous statement of Dr. Hmieleski, one could formulate an idea that many empowerment leaders today, do not take in account that there are different factors in which one should keep in mind. This involves different aspects such as, urban and suburban cultures, psychological aspects of possible behavior of a tardy or insubordinate employee and in general, not letting friends or family get in the way of hiring and firing. In one’s opinion one could also notice how it is working at a fast food restaurant; many will notice that when a place is not run well, it is due to the lack of proper communication from the leader to the worker – thus, creating animosity, people quitting in the middle of a “rush” and overall mal-attitude.

Cons

None so far, it's been great.

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.
