Pros

everyone leaves early when the boss doesn't know.

Cons

Don't work here. It isn't worth anything except the paycheck while you look for another job. Terrible benefits, no room for growth, no job culture. Literally you will sit there for 8 hours in silence or get talked to like you are stupid. The owners, Lucy and Daniel (married) are extremely unprofessional and will have fights in the middle of a meeting with the entire team there. Daniel treats everyone like a criminal, never even reads the project descriptions, and then wonders why we haven't made any progress on a project in 2 years. It's baffling how this business is even running. If you value yourself, skip on this one. You can find a better 50k/yr job.

Pros

Work ends at 5:00 pm. Multiple food options and a Starbucks in the corporate plaza area. None other than that.

Cons

Hostile work environment created by owners constantly yelling at each other or at staff. They have a "Seagull" management style. The two owners often give conflicting instructions. Always on the edge of failing contracts due to the owners not knowing anything about general contracting. They like to play hot-potato with the projects by pulling them from one project manager and giving it to another project manager on a whim. They always believe they can source the material or labor cheaper which ends up with poor quality product and very long lead times or hiring locals to complete the job without the necessary certification(s) required by the contract. Owner constantly winning bids on new projects without knowing the full scope which ends in projects being way under bid, often on the order of tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars under, which forces them to make up a fake reason to back out. This is due to one of the owners not taking the time to read the project requirements and he views the business as "gambling" - his words, not mine.

Pros

15 days of PTO. Free parking. Work day ends at 5PM. No overtime.

Cons

Limited concern with attracting and/or retaining top talent. No opportunity for meaningful growth. Attempts at process improvement are discouraged and typically met with acute suspicion followed by deconstructive criticism.
