Pros
AKRF usually pays the most in NYC and they are well known. We get really big jobs and city contracts. Its tough to jump ship if you aren't offered a better title somewhere else.
Cons
The entire industry is booming. There is more work than ever before, but that doesn't excuse how they treat employees here. If you aren't favorited you won't gain the skills that are truly valuable to growing your career. Most of the money comes from mundane field work at job sites. If you can't obtain office skills you will be stuck in the field for your entire time with AKRF. Some of my coworkers have been here over 10 years and are still waiting for the office time they are promised. Essentially you slave away and beat yourself up day in and day out or are one of the few that are chosen for promotion and management. Its best to be here for a short time if you're starting your career. If you come aboard at management level its much better, but work life balance is terrible all around. In all honesty the culture here is just terrible. Its all about profits now and field workers are paying the price.
