Pros
Good compensation for a nonunion company.
Cons
1. Extremely Woke / DEI or Die (The majority have to walk on eggshells) 2. They preach culture heavily, but don't actually promote it. They take it to a level of indoctrination and if you don't swallow the whole glass they consider it a bad attitude or an incident. You cant work here if you have a solid foundation of values especially if they lean conservative because the DEI doesn't apply to you. 3. They preach safety heavily, but don't actually promote it. Its all about nothing more than buzzwords, checklists, hype and everyone making the same comment they did the day before so they can appear as a contributor. This all goes over the field workers heads because they are checked out. 4. They preach team heavily, but forget that on teams, everyone has their position, that teams have captains and you don't see the catcher running out into left field. This lack of structure and God forbid a chain of command creates chaos onsite and causes confusion and money. The person in charge is the person most likely to run crying to HR. 5. Inexperienced Workforce. They have an extremely young workforce and I think it is because they have a hard time keeping people with real long-term experience due to generational differences and them leaning too far into accommodating Gen Z kids. They teach these new grads they are your equal fresh out of college and your degrees, Journeyman Certificate and 25yrs of experience in your trade isn't valid. I remember when we had respect for experience, the chain of command and even our elders. Those days are gone but only because it is accommodated. 6. Way overstaffed. I estimate they could honestly lay off 40 to 50% of their onsite office staff and complete the same amount of work. Everyone running around trying to justify their jobs by having unnecessary meetings and tasks and talking so they can hear themselves speak. Elon Musk would have a hay day with layoffs. 7. They think paperwork is construction, that engineers are constructors when they aren't and that the primary workforce is in the office rather than the field. This is why they cant man their work and are heavily dependent upon subcontractors.
