Way too stressful of a work environment. $$$ is the ONLY thing Management is concerned with. Customer happiness is 2nd.
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.
