Svantaggi
Local leadership throws all of those "Pros" out the window, and rewards those who can help cover up their mistakes, Non-existent training and development for real building and coordination skills for the jobsite teams, Popularity competitions determine opportunities and how well you will be supported in your role, Your performance will be subjectively judged on anonymous feedback while leadership will refuse to support initiatives that could improve the feedback, Poor support overall for Superintendents and poor leadership from the General Superintendent - this is a PM-led company, not a builder-led company. Committees of people who do not build will rate your level of "kool-aid" as a number on a spreadsheet and decide your pay and opportunities in this manner. You can count on the work/life balance to include only people who sit at a desk. Massive wasteful capital expenditures and office perks are easier to write off on the balance sheet than taking care of people.
