Pros

Love the culture, the people are friendly and eager to help you do well, I feel appreciated for my efforts and heard if I have any issues, I feel like I am on a career path for the rest of my working life and will have a healthy retirement when I leave, I always feel challenged in my role and supported while I rise to the challenge. They also respect that I am a working mom and do their best to be flexible with my schedule when possible. I am treated as an adult.

Cons

huge workload. Most of the training is done through their online training system which is not my natural learning style, that said, they have provided great alternatives once I let my manager know my needs.

Pros

Great company culture, exposure to some amazing projects, project teams are fantastic, camaraderie with your team, great resources and onboarding to ensure you learn to do your job well. ESOP and bonuses are great.. if you stick it out long enough.

Cons

Pay is not as competitive as other GC's, you can be relatively underpaid as they rely too heavily on preaching about the ESOP (which takes you 5 years to even be fully vested). Can be very political and leadership kinda plays favorites, some people who dont deserve it get promoted quick and others who do deserve it never get promoted. Long work hours and depending on the jobsite it can be pretty high-stress (but thats just construction for ya).
