What about PTO and vacations? 2 Weeks as soon as you start and that increases with longer you're with the company.
Quality of life? Such an objective question that only each person can determine for themselves.
Ability to work from home or remotely? You obviously can't do that if you're required to be in the field. But you get a gas card, plus company truck or a truck allowance.
Retirement packages and 401K matches? Fidelity up to 5% match.
Health insurance options that includes things like free or discounted gym memberships? Yep.
HSA's? Yep.
Working in the A/C? Nope but our foreman aren't working foreman so they just literally supervise.
What about long term vertical growth? Yep. Will pay for you to be trained to get your license and our first look for PM's or estimating starts with field personnel.
Abilty to work with the same company but move to a different state or country? You can't with our company but you can with a lot of national/regional subcontractors.
"tons of money right out of the gate" is a HORRIBLE reason to make a career choice.
again you are skipping over the 10-12 years minimum it takes to become a foreman, usually 15 to become a super and 20 or so to become a PM. thats years you are working like a fricking dog for low wages

In my experience you're way off on your numbers because it all depends on the person. We had a guy we were moving to super within 3 years because he was a hard worker and knew his stuff. You seem to be coming from the industrial side of things and that's just not been my experience with general contractors and sub contractors. I can go to any of our jobs sites and youll see assistant supers, supers, APM's and PM's that are below 35 and most of the time below 30. That's for GC's and other commercial trades.
