      Pros

      If you have a family they’re really understanding about your schedule flexibility but if you don’t have a family, they expect more of you. Not great for work-life balance or hours. But they’re more progressive when it comes to the construction industry - females in the field, more diverse hires, but less qualified applicants. Good for a long term career if you buy into their shares program but you won’t make a size-able profit until the 7th year.

      Cons

      The Denver district is one of the worst but the further you get from it, the better the company culture gets. 55 hours is the minimum they expect you to work but legally they won’t let you record more that 40. There’s no overtime pay, they pay you on the lower end of the pay scale and expect you to “pay dues.” If you stick around for poor treatment for about 5 years you’ll gain enough clout to have upper management’s respect.
