Pros

Friendly co-workers. Free coffee. Donut Fridays on payday.

Cons

Unmanageable workload and high number of layoffs made this worse. Expected to work miracles with non compliant subcontractors, as well as non compliant project managers. Lack of experienced PMs. No training, very little communication. Don't get sick, you will still be expected to work from the hospital. High turn over in middle management and upper management cheerleaders = recipe for a sinking ship. SNAFU. The people getting their hands dirty are stressed to the max. Plan to start taking medicine for high blood pressure and stress if you work for this company.

Pros

Top quality staff and winning attitude of the Maumee office staff,

Cons

The company become money strapped, stopped investing into their quality control and safety department allowing their top performers to leave, stopped staff training, reduced time home for field staff also very poor rotations for the extended hours and days 6 days on 12 to 14 hours a day not uncommon for a superintendent, Project managers are weak and never on the project except for a couple of days. Payments to subcontractors and vendors are often late. Hard to get tools and equipment for projects because the PM’s that plan the jobs never worked the jobs and they plan poorly. Our Detroit office after the merger became cold and unwelcoming I heard the same happen at the OH office. Detroit and OH never became a team.
