Pros

Great benefits and retirement packages

Cons

Not for anyone trying to have a family- they expect you to put work first and family second. If vice verse- then the ladder to a growth in career is cut short. They also look at investing and promoting the newly hired rather than investing on the people who'd actually put their time and devotion into the work and company.

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).
