Positive OutlookI worked at Bird Construction full-time
Pros
Good local leadership. The company is 100 years old and has a lot of great history with pretty strong values, fair pay and good benefits. Lots of recent and ongoing turnover and restructuring means there are also a lot of opportunities.
Cons
Executive leadership has had a lot of turnover and it is a lot more impersonal. More corporate with constant change that is not very well communicated or explained.
