Pros

Corporate initiatives from the bay area are innovative, healthy, and industry-leading. Great place to hone your soft skills and outside of the box thinking. Many personal development opportunities and encouraged to try new things. Benefit from a wide network of national support, and subsidiary companies to tap resources from. Big name, well-known.

Cons

Local leadership throws all of those "Pros" out the window, and rewards those who can help cover up their mistakes, Non-existent training and development for real building and coordination skills for the jobsite teams, Popularity competitions determine opportunities and how well you will be supported in your role, Your performance will be subjectively judged on anonymous feedback while leadership will refuse to support initiatives that could improve the feedback, Poor support overall for Superintendents and poor leadership from the General Superintendent - this is a PM-led company, not a builder-led company. Committees of people who do not build will rate your level of "kool-aid" as a number on a spreadsheet and decide your pay and opportunities in this manner. You can count on the work/life balance to include only people who sit at a desk. Massive wasteful capital expenditures and office perks are easier to write off on the balance sheet than taking care of people.

Pros

I can’t say there are any pros.

Cons

- Pay scale. - Have been known to short you hours constantly. - Atlanta crew is racist - Charlotte and Greenville has no structure or leadership. - You’re better off working anywhere else. - Prepare to be asked to do more than you are comfortable doing. (No is not an option if you wish to continue being employed.)
