Flexible work hours Nice Co-workers Training ESOP Employee Engagement

There are a lot of software systems that they use which can be annoying. I like to use 1-2 systems for entering and saving data.

I have been working at McCarthy Building full-time for less than a year
Pros
I can tell that McCarthy cares a lot about trying to do what's best for its employees. From an inside perspective, the human resources department really does work hard to try and get everyone the benefits, training, development opportunities and support they need.
Cons
I've heard a lot of talk within this company that impresses me about opportunities, initiatives, etc. and they do do things that support this talk, but it seems to me that the results aren't there. For example, the Partnership for Women event is awesome, but there is clearly still a vast gap in the number of women leaders at McCarthy and what they say the goal is as far as women within the business.

Pros
ESOP program is amazing, and all my bosses have made sure I've had a good work/life balance. Good salary, with amazing benefits.
Cons
Sometimes long hours, and short staffed jobs. Seems to be the nature of the industry for the most part.
Advice to Management
Be more aggressive with hiring more people to more adequately staff jobs.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at McCarthy Building full-time for more than a year
Pros
Executive leadership is great and supportive, HR is helpful and responsive, good wellness program.
Cons
Executive leadership advocates for Project Engineers and promotes Project Engineer development; however, (at the project level) development and promotion is not encouraged. There is a gap between what is being promoted by executives and at the project level. The most important thing is face time, meaning, how long you sit at your desk. It feels like a "good boys club". At the project level, there is a lot of... resistance to using technology. There is NO work-life balance. I "worked" (sat at my desk) 60+hours/week.

Executive leadership is great but there is a large gap in leadership and consistency between Executives and project-level PMs. For example, Executives promote development for Project Engineers by allowing Project Engineers to attend conferences but project-level PMs don't implement it, counter it, or make it impossible for Project Engineers to attend the conference.

Doesn't RecommendPositive OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI worked at McCarthy Building full-time
Pros
Bonus during the good years. Little to no increases when economy sags.
Cons
Good CEO but it is time to retire. Problem is that the Internal 2-3 "Next In Lines" are not capable of leading this company. Good Ol Boys. Toxic environment.
Advice to Management
Hire next CEO externally.
