Pros

great place honestly, they're nice. Pay is really good. They pay a monthly living stipend for out of state interns, everyone in the workplace is very positive & encouraging.

Cons

i went out of state and wasn't told my job location until my first day, so I had to find housing not knowing where my job placement would be. I ended up an hour & a half drive from work. They really force the "we are a family" when it should just be more natural. My site was a smaller project so I often found myself bored with nothing to do. My mentor always talked about how stressed or busy she was so I didn't want to ask her too many questions, other interns on bigger projects had like 5-6 mentors

Great Company, Great Company Culture

Pros

They really have a great company culture to the point of almost being cult like.. but in a good way. Great benefits.

Cons

A bit top heavy with management and limited opportunities. Once you are pigeon holed into a position and job, your kind of stuck there. They claim there is room to grow and you can see it around you. But often it seems upward movement is more cliche based than talent based.

Pros

DPR has been an amazing company to work for and really knows how to treat clients and trade partners with respect and fairness which is truly something special in the construction industry due to the competitiveness. Additionally, DPR really focuses on building up their employees and giving employees any resource/training/etc. to further their experience and gain knowledge to assist them in their fields. For a challenging industry, DPR really stands out from other general contractors for how the company treats its employees. The company is title-less and has a very relaxed hierarchy so there are tons of ways for employees to advance professionally in fields they may have not considered before. There is a bit of stress from how open the company is as DPR places trust in its employees to take charge individually and figure out how they need to grow to better themselves, their teams, and the company at large. Although it's a bit daunting, it's such a large pro that DPR is flexible and will encourage employees to find their own paths rather than having a strict path of development.

Cons

You don't get to work in construction without the downsides of the industry such as long work hours including weekend work, projects that are far away from your home, and the overall stressors of managing a multitude of players with oftentimes conflicting personalities. I wouldn't say this is unique to DPR; all general contractors will have these cons, but it is something prospective employees need to be aware of.
