Pros

Great benefits and salaries, stable financially. Nice place to work if you can stomach the politics and the clicks.

Cons

Management has a "good ole boy" mentality. Political animals make life pretty miserable. No work life balance, an average of 60 hour week. Sheep make excellent employees, independent thinkers or "outside of the box" employees don't seem to make it.

Could have been better

Business Outlook

Pros

There seems to be a desire to be the best, to incorporate new technologies and processes in the building process. Lots of opportunities for training both internal and external. There are real opportunities for growth not just locally, but the ability to transfer to a new location or into a Center of Excellence team is a benefit.

Cons

Management still doesn't understand the California market and doesn't understand that they are new and people don't know them. They need to be humble and accept whatever projects are offered, no matter how small, and expand their vision.
