I am a lifer because a great culture is worth it's weight in gold
Pros
Mortenson has a genuinely positive and warm culture. I am trusted and respected in my role and give opportunities to grow my skills. Team members are given many different avenues throughout the year to give feedback to leadership and make genuine efforts to change things to make it even better. Our leaders are incredibly intelligent, inspirational, transparent, and totally approachable.
Cons
There isn't a lot of growth opportunities for non-field roles. There is also not intentional incentives for high-performing team members that don't fit the typical ladder-climbing mold. This is a very typical oversight all traditional corporations. Mortenson is actively trying to add broader career paths for all teams and roles that support our field folks. But we are still stuck in an outdated systems and hierarchical philosophies of decades past. This could be pushed outside of convention rather than just looking to our peer industries.
