Pros
In over 10 years I've never had an issue cashing a check and my benefits are always paid on time. Some of the management are great people to work for and it's very rarely boring due to the assortment of work they do. From line work to water treatment. And ball field lighting to high rises.
Cons
Some of the management is awful to work for. There are never enough power tools on a job and the ones we do have are ancient and dilapidated.
A Local 99 thing: there are no paid vacations, sick days, or holidays. We do have off all the major holidays however none are paid.
