Pros

Consistent paycheck. Most of the doers go the extra mile to turn out good projects.

Cons

No employee reviews, annual or otherwise. Pay raises? Unlikely. No manageriel interest in the ideas of those at the bottom lf the food chain. Excessive layering within the management structure. Top-heavy. Seems to hire upper and middle management for reasons other than management skills. Complete lack of internal comunication regarding company status. Little interest in deployed employees' welfare and morale. Pay is sporadic. Those that perform best seem to get paid substantilly less than those they replace or those faltering around them. Excessive reliance on the do more with less theory in the field. Habitually underbids work and expects the teams in the field to work miracles. Cheerleader mentality among management...bobbling heads. Lack of corporate direction. Failure to folow a business plan. Not paying bills on time is putting employees in harms way oversees.

Pros

Top quality staff and winning attitude of the Maumee office staff,

Cons

The company become money strapped, stopped investing into their quality control and safety department allowing their top performers to leave, stopped staff training, reduced time home for field staff also very poor rotations for the extended hours and days 6 days on 12 to 14 hours a day not uncommon for a superintendent, Project managers are weak and never on the project except for a couple of days. Payments to subcontractors and vendors are often late. Hard to get tools and equipment for projects because the PM’s that plan the jobs never worked the jobs and they plan poorly. Our Detroit office after the merger became cold and unwelcoming I heard the same happen at the OH office. Detroit and OH never became a team.
