Vantaggi
The administrative staff is professional and competent. Liberal construction budget, so we never lacked for tools or materials. Opportunity to do a lot of interesting high-end custom work.
Svantaggi
Project manager worked remotely and rarely had eyes on the project. The owner of the entire organization (who has no hands-on/construction skills whatsoever) micro-managed every aspect of the project and frequently changed his mind, which meant we were always undoing what we'd just done and working in an inefficient manner just to meet his demands. Superintendent when I left basically fell into the role by default, and he was completely and utterly unprepared and incapable. He was a skilled construction foreman, but he lacked long-term planning and leadership skills, to put it kindly. The pay was awful. I started with some relevant experience at $15/hour. I saw at least a dozen journeymen come and go within a month because of the inane working conditions and low pay.
