- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
You get to manage your piece of the job. The company really reaches out to check on progress and reward programs are cool too.
Cons
Chain of command is pretty long which cause 2 problems. 1 , you can't get nothing done internally because it takes too long to get to the right person. 2. The main people don't get to see the jobs. Sometimes jobs have problems and if your company doesn't communicate effectively it becomes bigger plroblems.

- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Compensation is pretty good, they pay more than most non union contractors. I was always able to reach out to upper management with questions and concerns and they were always very responsive, I found that to be true with HR too.
Cons
The company is based out of Florida, leaving very little direct oversight on superintendents in other areas and allowing them to get away with murder. My experience with the superintendent I worked for was so bad it inspired me to leave the trade altogether and find a new career. We (the foreman) got no answers, guidance or communication and had to pick up the slack of someone who seemed to almost be working against us. Their was no team, it was him vs. us. The things he was able to get away with due to the lack of oversight was absolutely astonishing, leaving the foreman to pick up the slack.

- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Great company parties. Almost everyone gets a credit card, and it seems like most charge anything they want on it! A lot of growth if you are good at sucking up! When interviewing I highly recommend meeting the people you’re going to work with. Most will be honest about the departments working environment.
Cons
Very few departments have their act together. Too many processes that get in the way of a successful production. Too busy with their image, what matters the most like a successful job is just talked about and not acted on. My department VP sends out condescending emails with empty promises and false hope. Then told us he was going to treat us like a sports team... and benching people is all he meant by that.

- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
The company has a pretty friendly and high energy atmosphere. Free coffee and sometimes food.
Cons
Company parties over bonuses. Management can get away with hell and still be there. Lower pay compaired to same positions at other companies. CIO is manipulative and trys to pit his departments against each other. He has his top developers working insane hours on software the company doesn't need to justify his budget. He let's some of his departments treat others like crap for no reason and he's shown extreme favouritism to employees. This isnt even half of what I've seen him do there. Bottom line: Decent place to work so long as you're not in IT.

Decent Place To Work, But Has A Lot Of Issues Lurking Under the Surface
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Nice campus, good location (for office employees), good health care, and nice coworkers.
Cons
Many teams and departments operate very inefficiently. The company is trying to grow too fast, and bases their success on measures that don't really reflect the bigger issues going on. Leadership is generally out of touch with the employees. Over the years I've seen many issues with hires not lasting – they will say they hire for the "culture fit" because the "skills are teachable," however more often than not they hire based on superficial factors, rather than qualified candidates. Additionally, many employees who have been with the company for an extended time (6+ years) coast by, at mid-to-upper-level management positions. Seems like leadership will keep people on payroll or in positions of power, even when they're not right for the job.
