Pros

For the most part, everyone is competent at their respective positions. They have some very talented and smart team members that are good to learn from. Long-term compensation is really good if you are willing to grind it out your first 5 years.

Cons

No work/life balance, 12-hour days are expected even though you are on salary, New employees are not compensated fairly for the amount of hours.

Pros

Employee Owned , The People, Builder First Mentality, Types of Projects. I have worked for two other General Contractors and am lucky to have the experience to compare with my time at HP. All GC's do the same thing , They just use different systems, acronyms, and types of projects. The People make the Company!

Cons

Commercial construction is demanding—it’s not for everyone. It requires dedication, commitment, grit, disciplined execution, sometimes making sacrifices, precise coordination, and clear, proactive communication, along with compassion and empathy.
