Pros

Some good people trapped here

Cons

Unresponsive mgt, absolute refusal to back their people, so avidly pursuing low risk construction that they cannot compete with design build firms, no commitment to safety-- in fact the management hides jobs from the safety staff, no bonuses, no dividend on stock, consistently underpays by about 30%, except for upper mgt.
