Pros

100% Employee Owned. People are treated like adults - no micro-managing. We all know our job and we do it.

Cons

Construction - unstable right now. There may not be a project to go to after the current one is done. The company is not marketing my area at this time. I do not want to drive 50 miles to work anymore. With gas prices, no one can blame me.

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).
