Decent Company with Toxic Leadership

Pros

- ESOP - Fun coworkers (mostly)

Cons

- Extremely toxic inner circle. HR is a complete joke. Leadership plays favorites. You can be a hard worker but if you're not liked by the right people, you will never move up. Everyone knows about the inner circle, and once you're in it, you're absolutely untouchable no matter what you do. - Sexual harassment is pretty rampant here but nothing happens. It gets swept under the rug. - Lack of accountability - Underpaid. The company leans too heavily on the ESOP as an excuse to underpay workers. - Recently, the company has been making bad business decisions. I worry the future of the company is not as bright and promising as it once was.

Pros

A lot of good people

Cons

Executive leadership has adopted this "perception is reality" mantra which I disagree with. Working in construction, reality is reality and perception is for salesmen. At the end of the day the things that we build need to actually work. Not just look like they work. Leadership is over obsessed with image and sales now than substance and actually being a genuine good builder. They believe that "anyone can build" and they can just hire people to build if they're good enough at "managing" and sales. Problem is they dont listen to their builders they hire so I feel that the SW division is heading for some rough projects in the near future.
