Pros

Work at great, complex and fast pace projects. You will be able to work with amazing partners, truly construction workers. You will be very proud of your work at the end of the day. I expanded and strengthen my skills and knowledge about construction and the software I use to support our teams.

Cons

Working long hours. May have some challenges to maintain work-life balance.

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).
