      Flexibility and benefits overshadow staffing and management issues

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Flexibility, benefits, and overall people that work at the company.

      Cons

      There are not enough staff to fulfil the projects we have. Recent SPMs who have been hired do not have the ability to run projects on their own from start to finish. This is a result of hiring SPM's from larger CM's who build multi-billion dollar projects, and they are one out of MANY SPM's on projects usually with certain amount of trades. At Shawmut, SPM's must own all trades, coordination, and financials.

The company employs talented professionals who are passionate about delivering exceptional work, and there are many opportunities to learn from experienced leaders across different disciplines.

      Cons

      One area for improvement is work-life balance. Project demands and deadlines can sometimes result in long hours and increased workloads, particularly during critical phases of construction. Communication and consistency between regions, departments, and project teams can also vary, which may lead to differing employee experiences depending on the project or office.
