Pros

Provides entertainment at the very least. Easy to get a promotion. Friendly coworkers. Friday half days!! Even though that's for kindergartners, it's still pretty awesome. The facilities are pretty nice, even though some offices have weird patterns, like that Chevron wall. Being able to go home at night and think "I'm glad I'm not going be here forever"

Cons

This is a never-ending revolving glass door employer. Can't even keep employees, but they keep firing them anyways. Unorganized and lack of communication between estimators and PM's Owner hires assistants to do tasks that the PM should do, just wasting money on overhead, but pinches pennies and fires people that actually help the company. Hothead owner. He's the worst boss I've ever had in terms of honesty and treating employees fair. Owner randomly shows up, yells at people then is gone for a few more days.

Pros

Joe Banach. Half day Friday's. Decent benefits. Huge growth potential.

Cons

Walt Bolton. Rude, unprofessional, believes in the mantra that "The beatings shall continue until morale improves." Does not pay subcontractors or vendors on time. Micromanages everyone to the nth degree. No autonomy to allow anyone to make decisions. Due to high turnover, with Walt being the common denominator, projects are constantly being reassigned, thus causing them to be late and over budget. Huge disconnect between estimating and what it costs to actually perform the project. Personnel get assigned multiple tasks that takes away from their real job. Empathy must be felt for the employees who manage to stay or decide not to resign on their own accord. No appreciation is ever shown for ones efforts. Everything is a priority and it becomes organized chaos.
