      Toxic environment overshadowed by good pay and nice colleagues

      Prequalification coordinator
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Good pay and benefits alot of nice people on my team.

      Cons

      Very toxic environment and heavily political environment. Everybody is related and you have to constantly watch your back on who you are talking to unless you’ll become a target. Went through racism and a witch hunt after speaking up for myself. This place isn’t for anyone with a backbone or dealing with sick kids. Gives off cult like vibes as well.

      Horrible place to work – Chicago

      Superintendent
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Absolutely nothing is worth your time here. If you love siting in meetings and at the computer this job is NOT for you

      Cons

      I can’t think of a worse place to work in this industry. Management will lie to you constantly You will be micromanaged till you give in You will have no time to do your actual job Don’t make a mistake, they will find every way to blame it on you and “make it a learning experience” The PMs, PXs and office are NOT your friend, you will have zero support, and they WILL absolutely go behind your back The caliber of people is awful, no real builders but tons of construction cheerleaders. So much turnover for superintendents, it’s crazy. Most new superintendents only last 1-2 years at most. Some have quite in as little as 3-6 months You will be disappointed – I can guarantee it. Anyone that says differently, either drank the “Kool-Aid” or is easily brain washed. Go elsewhere, these people have no idea what they are doing.
