Pros
- Pay/benefits are just ok - The people, in general, are awesome. There’s a common feeling of “we’re all in this together.” - Grinding is usually rewarded, management constantly watching your progress. Almost guaranteed promotion every 2 years until you reach executive status. - HUGE resume boost with the skills you learn and name recognition.
Cons
- The construction industry just sucks in general but I figured Clark’s vast resources in DC would help their job sites, they do not. - Some people actually enjoy working 60+ hours a week with weekends and they eventually become the leadership. Most others just burnout at a certain point. - Yes, GCs always struggle with subs, but they do NOT enjoy working with Clark. We have so many jobs there’s no choice for them, and it makes getting anything out of them very difficult. Every one I’ve worked with tells me how much more they like other GCs. - If you don’t “bleed blue” (work 10+ hour days, go to the happy hour, and sign up for a committee), good luck.
