Pros

Great Benefits. Large company backing.

Cons

Culture is not the same across the company or even across the same office. Multiple people that constantly bring people down. Extremely long hours are the norm. Expect 55-60 hour weeks at a minimum. You will have to work most Saturdays as well. Most entry level employees are treated as if they provide no value to the team.

Pros

Great company culture, exposure to some amazing projects, project teams are fantastic, camaraderie with your team, great resources and onboarding to ensure you learn to do your job well. ESOP and bonuses are great.. if you stick it out long enough.

Cons

Pay is not as competitive as other GC's, you can be relatively underpaid as they rely too heavily on preaching about the ESOP (which takes you 5 years to even be fully vested). Can be very political and leadership kinda plays favorites, some people who dont deserve it get promoted quick and others who do deserve it never get promoted. Long work hours and depending on the jobsite it can be pretty high-stress (but thats just construction for ya).
