Current Employee – been working at Fluor

Pros – Most jobs have a 9/80 work week (every other Friday off).
Many projects, you're never board.
Company is slowly implementing full-time teleworking.
You accrue Time Off with Pay (TOwP) that's used for all time off. If you do not take allot of time off, you are able to take the TOwP as a payment when you leave / retire.

Cons – Jobs can change constantly.
You move your physical office many, many times. This is due to new projects, etc...
Health benefits could be better.

Advice to Senior Management – Management is very good considering the size of the company. Would like to see them create programs to validate direction with people at the worker level. Too many levels of management can create a disconnected environment for good business decisions

Cons – Limited training for senior staff.
Age sensitive

Elevate the knowledge and skills of mid/senior managers, to keep them current. Increase the productivity of US personnel. Keep trained staff employed till you can train some new talented professionals.

Learn your clients, don't let staff assume they know better for the market. Find some common ground, especially in the FSU.
Change minimum profit philosophy to keep quality in house.
Take lump sum and GMP construction only work to improve the quality of construction management staff.
