McCarthy Building Reviews

Pros

Good Money Good people Leadership listens and actually takes steps at helping you achieve your career goals.

Cons

To quote a song, “All I do is work, work, work no matter what.”

Pros

Heavy on Overhead, Pre-Con, & Management level staff. This can organize and prepare the operations team and craft workers to be very productive in the execution, and have a robust quality program that reduces re-work, compared to the competition. Very good benefits, most staff members that have been here for a bit are here to work together and get the project built.

Cons

McCarthy has a lot of meetings, from what I've been told by new hires, way more than competitor GC's. At a certain point, this becomes counterproductive, as weeks become longer, focus wanes, and team members begin to pay less attention during meetings and communicating with each other.

Pros

Good working environment, great benefits, ESOP, good on the job training, technology forward.

Cons

If you’re not one of the select favorites, it’s hard to climb the ladder - particularly as a female. I’ve had several female colleagues leave because they wouldn’t get promoted to the next level despite having the tenure/skill set/experience. There’s also a large disparity in quality of supervisors: During the time I’ve worked for McCarthy, I have had four supervisors - three out of four couldn’t care less about my development/ advancement. One of those three even pushed hard against the employee driving his/her own development. People skills and gender neutrality are still lacking in many instances on a global level.

Pros

fresh new hires who are eager to work

Cons

jobsite structures feels more like a hierarchy
