Driven, Motivated employees Complicated Projects 19% in Stock is bought in my name each year 6% is contributed to my 401k each year Bonus paid each year

Cons

Not perfect for everyone, you have to be willing to work hard for the benefits you receive. If you are looking for an 8-5 this is not the right company for you.

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).
