Pros

Employee Stock Ownership Program and Great Bonuses whenever the company is profitable. Which is a rare occasion because McCarthy always takes on jobs that are a failure from the beginning. My last bonus was .005% of my current salary.

Cons

McCarthy will work you to death. Job-site Management expects you to work from 6am to 6pm Monday thru Saturday and even Sunday if the project schedule demands it.

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).
