Pros

Benefits package, long-term financial accumulation

Cons

Alot of backstabbing, gossiping, favoritism. The good ol' boy network is alive and well. Hard to feel like you fit in if you are not a white male. Difficult to come to work, do your job well and be rewarded for that. You have to be "in with somebody".

Long term employment is rewarded...long hours are demanded.

Pros

This company expects a lot. Entry level (ie field engineer, office engineer) you work long hours and are low guy on the totem pole. To get promoted to project engineer is difficult in a sense that in order for that to happen management must see potential. If not you will be shown the door. This company is not for everyone. As I have stated long hours are expected and relocation is a potential. If you stay the course and become a long term employer (gold hard hat for five years of service) and start collecting on the phantom stock yearly it becomes very lucrative. Project Managers can collect yearly bonuses of $200-$300K more or less.

Cons

As with any construction company it depends on the job site you are assigned to how you are treated. My experience has been "ok". I will repeat again... 1. Long hours 2. Relocation for work is highly likely 3. it seems that everyone at this company thinks this is the only great construction out there. You must drink the kool-aid or act the part to fit in.

Pros

Pay is pretty fair. Long term benefits are better than any other company I have seen. Company pretty helpful with moves.

Cons

You will be working a lot and earning every dollar that they pay you, which is pretty fair. Long term benefits here are great, but everyone here refers to them as exactly what they are "Golden Handcuffs". Company is pretty helpful with moving reimbursements and what not, but you will have to move a lot. If you are super attached to being in any one particular area this is not the company or industry for you. Personally I was on my third move after only 20 months with the company. You really need to be able to work by yourself and stay motivated on your own because more likely than not you won't have anyone else looking out for you. Good be a great experience or a terrible experience, enter at your own risk.
