Pros

Love the culture, the people are friendly and eager to help you do well, I feel appreciated for my efforts and heard if I have any issues, I feel like I am on a career path for the rest of my working life and will have a healthy retirement when I leave, I always feel challenged in my role and supported while I rise to the challenge. They also respect that I am a working mom and do their best to be flexible with my schedule when possible. I am treated as an adult.

Cons

huge workload. Most of the training is done through their online training system which is not my natural learning style, that said, they have provided great alternatives once I let my manager know my needs.

Pros

Overall McCarthy is a good company. The more established divisions are the best though. It seems like the new divisions are still struggling to build a good working environment and strong leadership.

Cons

It seems like there is a lack for experienced staff. Promotions are not taken as seriously as they should, and therefore relationships with Owners and Subcontractors are ruined by the inexperienced. Also, there is a huge turnover for Superintendents, this is due to the crazy work hours they are asked to commit to. Most of the McCarthy mentality does not include work-life balance.

Pros

Decent pay, fantastic benefits. Large company has the capability to move you to new locations or into new construction types. Employee ownership

Cons

Work life balance is way off. Consistently work 60hrs/week. On smaller jobs with smaller staff sizes, the hours got up to 70+.
