Cons

I don’t have a whole lot of complaints but if I had to choose I’d say: -Over 50 hour weeks -Salary is not the absolute best in the industry but is still fair -Can be stressful because jobs are sometimes understaffed

Pros

It pays better than retail. But, I was happier in retail in college making minimum wage.

Cons

It pays poorly for industry/position, nor is as good a work environment as anywhere else you could go with your CV. Skills and talent are not rewarded, but are viewed as threats to longterm, entrenched employees. Literally, everyone that was worth anything was run out. Hard work did not equal reward. Skanska Europe is different... I am talking strictly Skanska USA. I worked in offices all over the USA from Boston, to NYC to Oakland, Phoenix and many, many more. I met the CEO numerous times. (Not Anders- he came in to clean up mess I am talking about. Will he?)
