Pros

Great place to gain experience about construction industry. Very honest and reputable company. In my work experience I cannot remember having to do a single thing which was unethical or not honest. job security for the employees is a high priority to senior management.

Cons

Work-life balance is unbalanced. long hours and minimal vacation is the norm. Pay is probably near the bottom range. Some project managers often treat the project engineers with little or no respect. Working on Saturday when projects are behind is not uncommon. 10 days vacation and about 5 holidays is all you get, the rest of the year you can find the workers in their office.

Pros

Benefits are great. People you are surrounded with are the best benefit.

Cons

Commute (comes with the industry). Demanding portions of the project will eat up your work/life balance if you let it.

Pros

The company has great leadership scattered between the different offices. The pay can be really good if you are a top performer, which just is through effort and giving your all to the job. It's a company that I was able to believe and follow the leadership and have lasting mentorships spanning a decade even after leaving. It is a company that I saw adapt and change over my time there. The changes were always an effort to make it better for the employee while maintaining a profitable business. I saw them listen to complaints and desires of employees and bring changes into action. It is a large company, so things take time, but I first hand saw changes. Also, if you talk about your long term life goals, have patience, are a good employee, they will help you reach your goals. Health care benefits are great too.

Cons

Construction can be a tiring industry. Long hours, tough days sometimes filled with emotions from trying to get the project moving forward. But my leadership was always understanding of this. They recognize and reward directly and indirectly the effort and work you put in. The golden handcuffs of the stocks is a downside. Living in expensive areas can be tough
