Work/Life balance. Properly staffing jobs with management to prevent anyone from feeling like they're drowning. There is plenty of expertise in all areas of construction within the company for you to grow and learn in whatever direction you choose.
Cons
There are a lot of computer programs to learn. If you are not savvy with software, it can be a challenge.

- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
A lot of nice perks/benefits (e.g. bonuses, lunches, snacks, employee events)
Cons
THERE IS NO DIVERSITY and a lot of preferential treatment among staff. Just because there a few women on the executive team (who are all white) doesn't make the organization diverse. They have photos and statements referring to diversity within the organization, but just look at the staff and you will know all you need to know. The little bit of diversity they refer to comes from labor positions, not staff in the office. You can count on your hands the number of employees that aren't white. If you are a person of color I would strongly encourage you to look elsewhere. The company is not very progressive in this area and is not prepared to create an inclusive and equitable work environment. They have yet to do ACTUAL work, they are looking and waiting for someone else to come in and "fix" their diversity problems. Tokenism is also an issue within the organization, which further highlights the lack of diversity. Trust me, they are not ready for real change, the organization has been in business for almost 100 years and is now focusing on hiring POC and "focusing" on diversity because it is a "trend" in our culture not because they see and understand the true value of diversity, equity and inclusion.
