Pros
Small company, good for entry level construction positions with smaller, uncomplex projects geared toward individuals with some work experience or Associate's Degree, or four-year degree in Construction Management. Provides a good foundation for understanding business practices, cost and budgeting, and providing customer service. Good for those experienced in interior conversion projects and smaller, capital improvement work. A viable stepping stone company toward greater career goals as the economy and construction volumes improve.
Cons
This company (more or less a "mom and pop organization") has an unusually high turnover rate and has not seen consistency with personnel and ability for the company to work together efficiently. Marand has seen a sort of "glass ceiling" in terms of abilities for new construction outside of branch banks and has experienced struggles with the few ground up projects completed outside of this sector. Most of the projects are financial based interior projects only and profits and budgets tend to suffer due to already tight margins. The company as a whole has struggled to develop business with new non-banking customers with which it could succeed with services for interior retrofitting and smaller ground up projects. The company structure feels very scattered and generally disorganized and technology is lacking. Safety does not seem to be a high priority for upper management and can become a critical aspect of the company's performance with respect to larger new construction projects.
