Pros

Vanguard Construction & Development is a high-end boutique construction firm led by its CEO and Founder, Michael Strauss, who leads from the front lines. It was a pleasure working for someone as passionate and committed to the business as Michael. He is exactly the kind of leader people want to work for, and he provided me with valuable opportunities that played a significant role in my career growth and where I am today.

Cons

None that come to mind. I had a great experience.

Pros

They had plenty of clients and projects. It was good to be a part of some projects and meet some interesting clients.

Cons

The people in the leadership roles are awful. These horrible people just want to be surrounded by men who agree to everything they say. It's ridiculous. Please avoid having any hope of fairness from these unethical people. They do what they like and don't care if an employee leaves.
