Pros
Upper management doesnt feel like upper management, they are very easy to reach and happy to listen and help with any issues. The pay and benefits are decent for a young professional straight out of college. The training is outstanding. The fellow Gilbane teamates are great!
Cons
Excessive Hours: it is expected that employees work from 6:45am until 5:00pm monday thru firday, which is more than 10 extra UNPAID hours per week and then they add Saturday's to the mix and you are averaging over 600 hours a year that are UNPAID because Gilbane forces you into working OT but doesnt pay OT to salary employees. Horrible PTO policy: It may say 5 weeks... but that includes all holiday time, sick time, and vacation time... after factoring in holidays that we are basically forced into taking off you are left with only 3 weeks. Everyone needs to use at least a few days for either sick kids or being sick yourself... leaving you with very little time to actually take a vacation. Travel: Many projects require long commutes to and from work, Gilbane compensates for gas... but thats even more unpaid hours you are giving to the company.
