Pros

Hard work however everyone was kept abreast regarding the tasks at hand with JSA and tool-box talk, regardless of position. Foreman and safety managers kept everyone safe and observed progress without micromanaging. We were able to work without having someone on our backs all the time. We were given incentives for being safe and operating efficiently.

Cons

None for this position besides working in harsh climate and environments. Since this is a construction job, there are always hazards and threats to our safety, but the safety managers and old hands kept us in line without treating us like children. It was a a learning experience the entire time I worked there.

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).
