Pros

Employee Stock Ownership Program and Great Bonuses whenever the company is profitable. Which is a rare occasion because McCarthy always takes on jobs that are a failure from the beginning. My last bonus was .005% of my current salary.

Cons

McCarthy will work you to death. Job-site Management expects you to work from 6am to 6pm Monday thru Saturday and even Sunday if the project schedule demands it.
