Pros

Great culture with commitment to customers, employees and sustainability. Very ethical - The company does the right thing "when no one is looking". Very innovative environment. Always looking for ways to improve our operations and develop our talent. strong leadership team that has been in place for a while. excellent customer focus leads to lots of repeat business.

Cons

sometimes manages to the "lowest common denominator". - which adds unnecessary policies and procedures. Needs to have more trust in their people and teams. Support services are sometimes given too much input over operations and project teams.

Pros

Fast paced environment Trust that you'll get the job done. Extravagant Company parties One of the biggest construction companies good benefits Extremely safety focussed. good potential for growth in the company.

Cons

Over worked (60-90 hours a week) No overtime compensation (I brought this up to management and they simply said "you get paid to get the job done") No "breather" time - Always pushing you to get the next thing done. No work-life balance - at all. most people get in at 5/6am and leave at 6pm. Stretched thin at job sites. Start with only 1 day/month of vacation. No formal training program - you are literally just thrown into a project and have to figure it out on your own.
