Pros

It allows you to be part of cool projects. It exposes you to pretty cool technology and it gives you a lot of responsibility very quickly which it is very challenging but also motivating. Good bonus IF you are buddies with the PM.

Cons

Because of the amount of work and responsibilities they give you from the get go there is no enough time for training. What they preach in the Atlanta office culture about helping new people progress is completely false, based on my experience. There is a lack of work/life balance. You are expected to work long hours and after doing so for 2-3 years if your relationships with the PM is not strong they do not promote you. 100% not recommended.

Thank you for your feedback – we're glad to hear you felt challenged in your role. Giving our associates great responsibility often leads to heavy workloads and long hours, but should not come at the expense of work-life balance. While associates frequently move and shift, maintaining a consistent culture on jobsites and in our offices is something we are always working on. Our bonus and promotion processes are a performance-based, transparent process and evaluated by several leaders and opinions. We invite anyone with questions on the process to reach out to your manager for more detail.

Pros

You will make good money with ample opportunity to get promotions. The Christmas Bonus is very nice, and gets bigger every year. The biggest pro to this job is hands down the ability to make a lot of money and rise in the ranks.

Cons

There is absolutely no work life balance. You typically work 60-65 hours a week with another 10 hours added if you have to cover the weekend which is usually once or twice a month for most jobs. Hands down the worst part of the job. Between long workdays and the commute to and from work, I usually get about an hour a night with my family and then the weekends I just want to loaf around because I’m mentally and physically exhausted.
