Pros

Nice looking office. Great subcontractors work with them because they pay the subs well. Gourmet company catered lunches. Fully stocked kitchen.

Cons

They provide television screens with zero resolution to study plans. They will demand that you be in the office every weekend while the VP's splurge on strippers around the country trying to win contracts, which they lose anyway. They monitor employees' private home conversations with company cell phones because they are paranoid about employees getting poached for information by property owners and rival construction firms.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your experience while at First Finish. We are very sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations, and we take all feedback as an opportunity to improve. We are glad that you appreciated the catered lunches and fully-stocked kitchen. We are often faced with circumstances requiring team members to work longer than usual hours. While we try our best to make the working environment (both in the office and in the field) as comfortable as possible, we greatly appreciate the sacrifices made. That being said we do not enter into agreements with clients in which seven (7) day-work weeks are mandated for the field staff, and we limit the necessity to work six (6)-day work weeks for the office staff, to the best of our abilities. While we are constantly upgrading company-owned equipment loaned to staff members (laptops, monitors, tablets, mobile phones, etc.) so that we can operate efficiently with help from the latest technology, with the expectation that the contents developed with/on said technology is the property of the company (as is standard practice), the monitoring of private home conversation is certainly not done, nor is it legal in the United States. We can assure you that we will continue to implement appropriate policies and procedures to ensure we operate as responsibly and fairly as we can.

Pros

Ability to move up, teamwork environment, a healthy competitive culture to be great. Great individuals to work with. Ability to openly communicate with upper management.

Cons

Just like any job, some days are stressful. That is just part of this line of work, I don't see it as a con.

Pros

Nothing positive to say about this company. Probably the free donuts every Friday is the only good thing I can think of.

Cons

Worst place ever to work! Troy the senior accountant is extremely unprofessional and does nothing but watches YouTube all day on his downtime. He’s extremely emotional for a manager and brings his personal life into work. Not to mention, he refers to his superiors as the B word when things don’t go his way. There’s so much more to say but if you are under his position, DO NOT TRUST HIM at all.
