Pros

Competitive pay, it's how they get you

Cons

1. High turnover - three NYC employees all left within 1 year of their hire, along with two who had been with the company for 3 years. Previously, the entire NY estimating team had been let go. Nearly the entire NYC office staff has cycled out apart from leadership. 2. Heavy micromanaging culture, they keep track of how many emails you send as a measure of productivity 3. Internal processes are old, inefficient, and yet resistant to change. Internal employee resource groups are a false hope. They're led each led by the cushy, out-of-touch upper management who don't allow for actual change and pressure you into making suggestions that conform to the culture. 4. Sexist culture, I feel bad for the women in our office. There are often inappropriate comments made. Two women have left already. 5. The NYC office is led by management that feigns friendliness and competence to leadership in the FL headquarters, but actually runs a toxic business unit in NYC.

Pros

I’ve had a fantastic experience with the benefits here. The company provides 100% coverage for both health and dental insurance, which is a real lifesaver. They also offer a solid 401(k) match, making it easier to plan for the future. Plus, being an employee-owned company (ESOP) adds to the feeling of investment in our success. The work-life balance is another highlight, with numerous events for employees and their families throughout the year. It really creates a sense of community. Also, I appreciate that there's no micromanagement here; trust and independence are encouraged. Overall, it’s a great place to work!

Cons

Non that I can think of.
