Pros

ESOP is a very nice perk. Can add up to a serious retirement account in 20+ years. Overall benefits package is good.

Cons

As with any construction firm, work life balance is a challenge. Old school mentality in general. Not very progressive or open to change. Base salary is below average.

Pros

The people that work there love construction, and love to do what they do. Safety is their highest priority.

Cons

They demand a lot from you - they try to promote a good work/life balance, but really they need you to work the long hours. The pay is low but they try to make up for it with a higher ESOP. Too many policies and paperwork to go through for each project.

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+.
