CBG Building Company Reviews

Pros

Really good bonus structure, much more than my past company. Unlike previous companies, CBG always pays their bonuses in a timely manner. People are really fun to work with and there is no shortage of opportunities. CBG has given me many more opportunities to accelerate my career compared to my old company who was a larger GC in the DC market. The work environment is really fun. I am surrounded with many people with experience just a year or two ahead of mine which has really helped my career grow. It is nice to see people just a year or two ahead of me in my career which gives me optimism with my career path.

Cons

Wish I started here out of college. When I left college, I interviewed with CBG, but decided to go with a larger GC firm in the DC area. I was attracted to the bigger company, but when I got there, I felt like a small fish in a big pond. I feel like I lost a year or two at the bigger company. With lots of opportunity given at a young age - comes required hard work. In order to accelerate your career at CBG, you need to put in the hours and work hard. Fortunately, if you do this, CBG rewards you in terms of salary, bonuses, flexibility, and more career opportunity.

Pros

Good pay for an entry level position.

Cons

Long days and a very inappropriate/ uncomfortable environment to be a female in the construction industry.

Pros

There lots of resources provided to help individuals broaden their construction knowledge.

Cons

Sometimes projects are far from where you live.

Pros

Upper management, benefits, promote within

Cons

Divide between office and field staff

Pros

- company culture - opportunity - benefits - management - exciting work

Cons

long hours, but to be expected with the industry

Pros

They have a great team building environment. There were monthly events for the employees to have fun and meet other coworkers. The team I worked with helped me learn more than I could have expected in the multi-family sector.

Cons

Not really a con, but as an intern, you don't always have many daily tasks, so you will have to seek them out.

Pros

I've worked for CBG for a few years now, and they are by far one of the best out there. The construction industry is inherently stressful and filled with long work hours. CBG helps to counter this by hosting sports outings, golf tournaments, happy hours, and team building activities. Additionally, I have a great working relationship with all of my colleagues at CBG, and wouldn't hesitate to call them with any concerns I might have. This includes upper management. I've experienced first hand that, hard working and determined individuals are rewarded for their efforts at CBG. This can be both monetarily and/or with career advancements. Along that same line, there is tons of opportunities within the company. Positions such as superintendent, engineer, project executive, safety manager etc... All are available avenues for expanding or exploring other career paths.

Cons

There are very few cons. However, if I had to pick one, it would be balancing work and home life can sometimes be tough. This is a hard issue to combat because the construction industry is notoriously stressful with long work hours. Social events are awesome, but time with family is ultimately more important.

Pros

CBG offer great benefits and compensates its employees well. CBG gives it employees a lot of freedom to move around in the company and choose their own path. They also give you a lot of freedom to enjoy yourself and have a good work life balance. Team CBG is a great way for younger employees to get to know there peers and have a good time. I continue to enjoy working at CBG and hope to be here for a while.

Cons

I can not think of any Cons. As long as you are a hard worker and dedicated person you will like working here.
