Pros

401k matching PTO Free tickets to local sporting events via regular raffles

Cons

Arrogant and incompetent middle managers plague this place. Equally dubious field superintendents (a certain few, and not as common as above). Nepotism. Little to no work-life balance. Compensation on the low side compared to peer or bigger competitors in the area.

Pros

- easy to meet with upper management - some people are friendly

Cons

I had a horrible time with immature management which lacked communication. I also often witnessed violence and inappropriate language on jobsites from superintendents. The company lies about being diverse and inclusive. During the election period, a subcontractor said, with a serious tone during a meeting that he was going to bring a gun to the worksite to shoot off protesters if a certain person did not win. My Super acted like there was nothing wrong and proceeded to laugh. I often felt unsafe on the job site. - communication is not the best - clients are often lied to about timelines and deliverables - not diverse or inclusive - offensive language is often used - pay is not great - processes are not streamlined. Deliverables change with every project
