Pros

Insurance coverage is pretty good

Cons

Management continuously shrugged off complaints from employees about needing direction. They put young and inexperienced employees in positions where they were making calls that could bring a project to a grinding halt but gave them no training to succeed. They would make promises of better locations, opportunities, or positions if it meant you leaving their office, nevermind never following up on those promises. The leadership on the mega project I was involved with gave no direction to employees when the job was wrapping up regarding what was happening with their job but acted surprised when people began quitting or leaving for other companies with the excuse of "we were working on it." This was the line from the VPs for months as the end of the job came. many of my coworkers were given less than 7 days notice before they needed to be at another office or jobsite often several states away. VPs making $300K+ from a job should at least be candid with their employees instead of giving them the run around.

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
