Pros

ESOP, Healthy work culture, locations throughout the U.S.

Cons

Poor work life/balance. McCarthy sells that the ESOP is the reason they can pay you a lower salary. There is poor leadership growth, with little or no goals/path set to successfully climb within the company . Company prides itself on training individuals but its primarily geared toward office staff. Many of the senior employees display poor ethics and do not convey the morals, values and culture that McCarthy is attempting to create.

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).
