Pros

If proactive there are opportunities for learning, leadership, and skill building. The benefits are decent and there are opportunities to travel with the company.

Cons

Depending on who you work under/with the work environment can be cut throat and toxic.Some superintendents will take on a "by any means necessary" mentality to get a project done on time for their savings and early completion bonuses. Consequently influencing a job site to cut corners, endorse toxic behavior and take short cuts.

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).
