Pros

McCarthy has lots of benefits, and the pay is great if you are in Renewable Energy. Also the atmosphere is a little less corporate than other companies this size.

Cons

You're going to need the company-provided mental health services with the amount of hours you are pressured to work as an exempt employee in operations. Your company-provided therapist might suggest you quit; oh, the irony...

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).
