Are most General Contractors bad?

After building several homes, I've learned a few things, and one of them, if there is an opportunity for taking a significant shortcut, the General Contractor (GC) or their sub will seize the opportunity.

In other words, if the homeowner doesn't watch carefully for its own interests, he will be taken advantage of by the multiple agents involved in the process. Time and productivity are now king and craftsmanship and honesty can only yield to money concerns.

This said they are differences between GC. Some are woefully incompetent, some are just good salesmen and other are plain crook. Of course, there are the ones that are a combination of two or three of these factors and the end result may vary in severity!
