Pros

Skanska USA Civil pursues very interesting large projects. Skanska gives me a lot of responsibility but expects a lot in return. The pay is not bad and the benefits are pretty good and the bonuses are ok if the company is making money.

Cons

Most respondents have mentioned the pay. Mine is less than I was making at a previous job and the raises have been less than spectacular, less than I expected. There seems to be a bit of superstructure and I havent seen much nimbleness from the upper management.

Favoritism is definitely shown in advancement, raises and promotions

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits, employer flexible if time off needed

Cons

Seems the way a non-productive employee is dealt with is via promotion out of the department, while those who work hardest are trapped in the same jobs with no advancement, compensation or promotion.

Pros

Rewarding work, with results that I can be proud of. I felt that I moved quickly and had a great deal of responsibility.

Cons

Incredibly difficult hours, and often had to move from across country at a moment's notice, with very little assistance. Management also told me one thing and did another.
