Pros

McCarthy offers good benefits (same as several other GC's in San Diego). They do strive to have great releationships with the Owners and Subs.

Cons

McCarthy is very very low paying. They do not treat their Admins very well, from bonuses, to raises to sharing perks. Interns make more money and are treated better than the Admins.

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).
