Pros

• A paycheck (generally on time) • Remote, but beginning May '24 mandatory hybrid with 3 days in office and 2 home

Cons

• Low base pay for a Construction PM • Commission was restructured multiple times. Employees now earn approximately 40% of what was previously paid out • Mandatory return to office/hybrid • Sales team overpromises and it's up to PM team to deliver • Majority of Upper Management have Sales Background and try to instill sales metrics to Project Management • Majority of Projects sold are unfeasible and PM team has to attempt to collect as many invoices as possible from client before they realize that their build is unattainable and they cancel • No professional development • No room for advancement • For a Pre Construction company, you can count on 1 hand how many employees actually have any construction experience • Associate Project Managers are realistically only Administrative Assistants in charge of communication and outreach (which follows sales scripts and cadences) • Managers are told to Micro Manage and have software which they utilize to see what you are doing on screen and they even monitor your DMs in Slack • High turnover rate that rivals a Sales org
