Pros

Overall McCarthy is a good company. The more established divisions are the best though. It seems like the new divisions are still struggling to build a good working environment and strong leadership.

Cons

It seems like there is a lack for experienced staff. Promotions are not taken as seriously as they should, and therefore relationships with Owners and Subcontractors are ruined by the inexperienced. Also, there is a huge turnover for Superintendents, this is due to the crazy work hours they are asked to commit to. Most of the McCarthy mentality does not include work-life balance.

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).
