Cons: campus parking is expensive, trafic was aweful. extreamly wasteful with plastic and products.

CPPM Waste of Tax Dollars - Inexperienced "Managers"
PM (Former Employee), MPLS – April 11, 2013
Pros: easiest do nothing job in mn.
Cons: all the folks and system you're stuck working with.
This group is I'll prepared and lacks any practical knowledge of Design & Construction. After interviewing here I couldn't get out of the department quick enough. The shear arrogance of the Director and her senior staff was only exceeded by the groups absence of two ounces of real experiences with real world projects. Clearly MN taxpayers are being – more... robbed by CPPM as everything and every project they "manage" cost 3 to 4 times more per square foot than any comparable project anywhere outside the U of MN system. Not one of these CPPM employees could get a job in the private sector. If you're looking to sit on your backside do nothing and waste more money on Capital projects, get a job with CPPM, – less
