Pros

The only positive thing about working here was the friendships I made along the way because misery loves company.

Cons

If I could give zero stars, I would. This company is a textbook example of how NOT to run a business. The work culture is toxic, employees are overworked and underpaid, and there’s absolutely no training or support. Micromanagement is rampant, yet somehow, there’s no clear leadership structure just too many captains and not enough sailors. It’s pure chaos, with no direction and no real opportunities for growth. Save yourself the headache and look elsewhere.

Pros

Title says it all. The culture is good, relaxed and not very corporate. I personally like this about the company but I know it’s not for everyone. Hard work is highly rewarded and generally speaking the company really cares about its people. It’s small enough where you can grow and actually climb the ladder and it’s also large enough where you can get a lot of different opportunities across different departments and locations. The C suite is incredibly accessible and casual.

Cons

As some have said here - with the relaxed semi casual environment comes some politics and lobbying.

Pros

It's a good company to start construction journey and experience

Cons

Does not seem to have a system applied. Every job has different management processes.
