Pros

With my experience as a Project Superintendent, I found that there were no pros.

Cons

Compensation for a superintendent is 100% commission. This may sound like it has potential. In fact, management will give a great "How to make money at Airoom" presentation. Kind of felt like I was being sold a "Time share". However, since the subs are paid VERY little and tend to be paid late, keeping an adequate work flow going is impossible. Superintendents have no control over timely payments to subs. Even approving invoices quickly will result in a minimum of 45 - 60 days. Now multiply all this headache by 8 - 10 projects at a time and you have a good idea of what it's like! The turn over of Superintendents is staggering. While I worked there, the percentage was easily 80% - 90%. Because of this "broken process", the customers are usually at some level of dissatisfaction. The only way there are so few negative reviews online can be because they have actually paid very unhappy customers to keep quite. Nice, huh? Please note: I am not some internet "troll", bad mouthing this company because I didn't get along with someone or got fired. I resigned fair and square because of everything I've described.

Pros

This job looked like a good fit with my background. I have the skill set and experience to do it successfully. It seemed I’d be working with an elite team but read on....

Cons

The work wasn’t a good fit with my strengths. “Training” consisted of out-dated videos and the culture of the team was toxic. It was a dysfunctional team with no trust among the members taken directly from the top: It was evident that the owner Mike Klein didn’t care about us, and no one trusted him: he's the Don Trump of Design-Build and always RIGHT no matter what the reality is. I was stunned when one of my colleagues said, “You know, you can never trust him.” ELEVEN talented people from my department had left in 8 months. (don’t believe BOGUS reviews written 7/7/18; 7/2/18; 7/1/18; 6/27/18; 6/22/18; 6/13/18…these employees do not exist in the departments they claim to be from or were paid directly by Mike Klein). The 6/11/18 review is completely accurate and worth reading over and over before you even think of wanting to work here. Most importantly, management changes the terms of your employment contract after 6 months, and the “salary” goes away and you go straight commission 100% with a “draw” (meaning you pay back money), and this is never mentioned in any of the ads, interviews or employment contract. And with no meaningful training, you’re expected to “wing it” and sell over-priced jobs successfully… As a result, most jobs are lost to lower-priced competitors, and at 100% commission this means you hit a HUGE sales slump. Phone lead-takers always low-ball callers so when I arrive at clients’ homes, I’m forced to dance-around the fact that Airoom projects START at least 20% more than phone estimates. There is no compensation for mileage/vehicle-maintenance and each client appointment is at least one hour each way. The employment contract also contains a highly restrictive non-compete clause which makes it impossible to find work in the design-build industry for one year after you leave…WHY DO YOU WANT TO WORK HERE AGAIN?!

Pros

The base pay is slightly better than average.

Cons

The owner garners personal satisfaction marginalizing his employees. He is very charming when he is attracting you to come work for the company but shortly after you are committed he calls you to task for not achieving unrealistic expectations. The organization primarily on the extreme skill set of its team members to overcome the company's operational and logistical shortcomings and lack of efficiency
