Pros

The health insurance is free. That would be it.

Cons

As you have read the hours are long, they will move you at a moments notice, are the pay is poor. I keep reading reviews saying that their hours are the industry standard. IT IS NOT! The grass is really greener on the other side! Currently, I work 7:30-4 Monday through Friday and NO WEEKENDS! That's right, NO WEEKENDS! I make more money than what I did at HP and my bonus was much higher than any I received! The extra added bonus, I do not have to move! It's great! There are so many upper level employees quitting because they realize that there is more out there. The golden carrot is no longer helping with retaining employees because it's not worth it. They will work you to death and when your lose to 20+ years, they will force you out. I've been so much happier and rested since I quit. Best decision I've ever made!

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.
