Pros

Some of the duties that I performed at GF Sprague prepared me for the position I am currently in. It was a great learning experience.

Cons

For starters, I have to agree with the previous review. It is fairly difficult to work for this company as the owner is just awful. It is a very small office in which about 3-4 employees share a small space and cater to Mr. Sprague's every need. Very little room for advancement or growth. Some of the tasks delegated are absurd and are not a part of the job description. A few words to describe him are sexist, a dictator, arrogant, and moody. Unfortunately, I was in quite a few uncomfortable situations while working for Sprague and it was unbearable (to say the least) to watch how he treated my former co-workers as well. The turn over rate with this company is extremely high. Needless to say, no one wants to work for this man. Nevertheless, I ended my relationship with Sprague as it was becoming extremely toxic to my well being.

Pros

Great leads without the windshield time between them you can find at other places. Strong reputation makes it easier to sell. Great sales team that supports each other and provides knowledge and advice on upcoming appointments.

Cons

Work late some nights but not as often as before the pandemic due to people working from home and Zoom meetings.

Pros

I have been working at G.F.Sprague for around four years now. I have always been treated with respect. They make sure i get enough hours during the week and plenty of overtime when available. There is always someone around to listen if you have any issues and more than enough room to grow. Working for this company is an amazing way to enjoy a career in construction. I also just recently enjoyed the birth of my first child. G.F.Sprague was more than happy to give me a paid paternity leave so i could be with my wife and newborn child. Everyone has also been helpful through some hard times in getting used to being a father and working full time. Can not say enough good things about this place.

Cons

Other than working out in the field and getting dirty and some bruises here and there, I cant think of any cons.
