I worked at McCarthy Building full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Pre 2010 the company was fantastic, I never thought I would leave. We socialized, had a softball team and truly enjoyed working and hanging out. We were a team no matter how bad a job was going.

Cons – Post 2010 something got in the water...inexperienced new guys get promoted over trained employees. No one hangs out, jobs so spread out = no softball. Mgmt would work you to death to save a buck rather than hire help, then wonder why the jobs loose money.

Advice to Senior Management – Management is not connected to the people anymore, "Genuine" is gone as well as employee trust. Fix this and it can be a great company again.
