Pros

Always have work to do. A cost of living raise is common every year. Health and 401k benefits are well above normal. As far as co-workers and majority of direct managers it is great family type atmosphere.

Cons

Employees are stuck in there ways and do not do well with change of the growing company making work life stressful and unorganized. Senior management have the mentality of telling their employees to jump and their employees should respond how high.Nothing is ever good enough. Everyone wants tasks done yesterday the day you are made aware of a task, unrealistic fast pace environment. Pay is low-mid range for corporate employees. Vacation is generally prorated first calendar year of 2 weeks. First full calendar year is 1 week and Second full calendar year is 2 weeks. However, the hand book states this is based on individual job offers. There are not enough employees to get a job done in a time frame needed.

Pros

Family owned with mid west values. High quality construction firm that delivers on the most difficult of projects.

Cons

Growing extremely fast- large business that operates like a small business, so don't expect a ton of standard operating procedures.
