Pros

Financially strong company with a good ESOP.

Cons

Horrible management and culture. The company lacks business professionalism and a work life balance. Excessive redundancy and poor contract negotiations with owners. Expectations of 60 to 80 hours a week minimum. The company has high turn over at the 5 year mark as people get ESOP vested and then cash out.

Pros

Great company culture, exposure to some amazing projects, project teams are fantastic, camaraderie with your team, great resources and onboarding to ensure you learn to do your job well. ESOP and bonuses are great.. if you stick it out long enough.

Cons

Pay is not as competitive as other GC's, you can be relatively underpaid as they rely too heavily on preaching about the ESOP (which takes you 5 years to even be fully vested). Can be very political and leadership kinda plays favorites, some people who dont deserve it get promoted quick and others who do deserve it never get promoted. Long work hours and depending on the jobsite it can be pretty high-stress (but thats just construction for ya).
