Pros

Salary is a little above the market. They throw company parties regularly. They require disciplined individuals that can get the job done.

Cons

It takes years for proper advancement. They expect you to be loyal and work hard but then lay you off. Eighty hour weeks is regular. Management team is a bit toxic. Animosity between employees on projects. Throw each other under the bus when ever they get a chance. Salary is horrible in consideration to the hours put in. Vacation time is ridiculous, they scold anyone that takes more than three consecutive days off. Reviews are a joke, usually done by someone that is not your direct supervisor.

Pros

Opportunity for advancement is second to none. Support systems and resources are there, hard workers can and will move up in the company quickly. Compensation is what I would describe as competitive/average, you won't get rich but you won't struggle either. Generous PTO offerings and all the bank holidays are paid days off, at least for salaried staff.

Cons

Corporate feel, corporate policies, corporate everything. You need to have a strong stomach for cringe inducing, insufferable corporate nonsense that will be injected in your day to day by executives that have a poor understanding of how to effectively manage trade partners, job site relations, and clients alike. Also, you will work like a dog, work life balance is non existent. The needs of the project or demands of the owner are expected to come first, reinforced by a culture of 'workaholism' that permeates all facets of the company. Typically at least 10 hour days 5 days a week for operations staff, large projects can get far worse than that, like inhumane expectations for work hours and production.
