Pros

Excellent environment, the company really cares about people, great (big company) benefits, team work really happens, no politics. The senior management is accessible to everyone. There are monthly Shaw Talks that give the "state of the business" address. It's fun and exciting. One other cool thing is that there is no formal attendance policy--come to work on time, and do your job!

Cons

Compensation for some jobs is lower than state and/or local averages. Everyone is so busy it seems like the company is short-staffed in some areas. There's no one who answers the phone if you call in and get voice mail. You have to leave a message for whoever you want to reach.

Pros

Located in West Florida. Good weather which is helping retain good talent despite poor management attitude.

Cons

Worst managers. Frustrated employees who get sadistic pleasure in harassing contractors. Place full of brown nosers. Very stressful environment. Manager is inhuman and doesn't care even if contractors wife is sick or serious. Only cares about getting work done. Treats contractors like sheep and never gives them even basic respect. Discriminates openly between employees and contractors.

Shaw Development Response

It’s unfortunate when a disgruntled temporary/contract employee feels the need to criticize a well-liked and respected organization. Shaw Development cares about our employees -- hiring the best people, and taking care of them. It is a very busy environment at a fast growing company, which is why contract employees are utilized to effectively manage the changing workload. These employees are treated fairly with respect like all team members, and they are included in company communications, celebrations and lunches. Contractors and temporary employees have frequently requested full time positions with Shaw Development and the company has hired many of them full time when positions became available. Shaw provides an excellent compensation and benefits package to full time employees. The comments above regarding benefits and pay is between the contractor and his placement agency, not Shaw Development. Sometimes it doesn’t work out when a contractor can’t perform to a satisfactory level, or demonstrates negative behavior that is damaging to the company. This is a disappointing review and the accuracy is very questionable, as Shaw has never had a contractor fill the role of a lead engineer.

Pros

Building products for well known companies with a portfolio as well as military contributions.

Cons

Management. After the company take over of Monomoy New York, they kept the same management in charge which quickly lead to depreciation of employees, sales, customers and any hope or faith within the company. The best employees that made the company have all quit and moved on. Those that are left are those who will never be anything in life and hold on to a slim glimmer of hope that they are made to feel important or relevant as the company draws to its ending. HR is a joke, management is inexperienced and promote those who sit on their phones and do nothing and the hard working are punished and reprimanded. The cult has even trickled down to the last remaining employees who if you are not part of their gang, are too pretty as a woman or seem more educated than them, they will bully you until you quit or they will do everything they can to get you fired. These same employees hide work orders and work to make it look like there is nothing to do to make their numbers look better.
