Pros

The guys on the crews are great, but they're local union workers not Michels employees.

Cons

Took a salary (no overtime) offer right out of college as a "Quality Control/Quality Assurance Engineer" for "45+" hours a week. Those are in quotes intentionally; my first day I was told my hours would be 6am-5pm Monday through Saturday (around 70 hours a week) and the job was a glorified field secretary. There was no option to negotiate overtime and you are basically told you are expendable. They also had zero training program and terrible upper management practices which were the definition of "rolls down hill".

Pros

Family owned with mid west values. High quality construction firm that delivers on the most difficult of projects.

Cons

Growing extremely fast- large business that operates like a small business, so don't expect a ton of standard operating procedures.
