Pros

The company offers solid benefits and opportunities for learning and growth, which can be valuable for recent grads entering the construction industry. However, the cons, particularly the challenges posed by poor management, hostile work environments, lack of flexibility, and subpar compensation, need to be carefully considered.

Cons

Poor Management: Decision-making processes often felt arbitrary and disconnected from the actual needs of the teams. This led to frustration and hindered overall efficiency. Saw it in ops and in support groups. Absence of HR: No HR! There isn't a proper channel for addressing concerns. They are supposed to be reported to your manager, which means many don't say or do anything. Hostile Work Environments: Some departments or project teams fostered hostile work environments. Not productive, especially in this industry. Lack of Flexibility: Your manager can do whatever they want. You can't. Compensation: Very low pay. Not even close to what you can make elsewhere. Lack of Diversity: I can count on one hand the number of women and POC in senior leadership.

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
