Pros

Insurance coverage is pretty good

Cons

Management continuously shrugged off complaints from employees about needing direction. They put young and inexperienced employees in positions where they were making calls that could bring a project to a grinding halt but gave them no training to succeed. They would make promises of better locations, opportunities, or positions if it meant you leaving their office, nevermind never following up on those promises. The leadership on the mega project I was involved with gave no direction to employees when the job was wrapping up regarding what was happening with their job but acted surprised when people began quitting or leaving for other companies with the excuse of "we were working on it." This was the line from the VPs for months as the end of the job came. many of my coworkers were given less than 7 days notice before they needed to be at another office or jobsite often several states away. VPs making $300K+ from a job should at least be candid with their employees instead of giving them the run around.

Fitting for some, but not for me

Pros

The individuals I worked with were nice, and the pay was decent for recent graduates.

Cons

Very male dominated, old fashion and redundant methods, very minimal clarity in objectives or tasks. It is very possible that you end up working for a terrible project manager, but don't worry because people are reassigned, hired, and leaving the company quite a bit. The ONY way to "level up" is by time spent working there. Oh and extremely long work weeks with 10 days of vacation a year and a sad number of holidays off.

Pros

-Opportunity to run work from day one. -Clear career path (PE-APM-PM1,2,3...) -Lots of young people in the company. -Job security.

Cons

-Pay is well below market rate for construction in SF. -No connection between performance and promotions/bonuses. -Almost every project is understaffed - this leads to very long hours doing multiple people's jobs. Do not expect to hear "good job" ever for the hard work/long hours you put in. -Company does not focus on retaining good employees because it EXPECTS people to stay because of the pension. -Divisions are run like frat houses - if you're not in the good ol boys club you are not valued and will not be taken care of. There is no HR department in the company so no one is regulating this behavior. -Company does not advertise or focus on brand so no one (including potential clients) knows who you work for unless you're in Baltimore.
