Pros

Flexible schedule (also a huge con, but when the right person is doing the schedule, it can flex around appointments and other personal commitments) A good portion of your day is just driving. Exceptional networking advantage. You will meet people in all kinds of trades and other employers in the area. If you're worth a thing, you can bank on contractors inviting you to fill out an application at least a handful of times per year.

Cons

The pay is significantly less than other inspection agencies in the area. They promise the opportunity to move up, then you realize how top heavy the organization is. Not everyone can be a boss. The schedule doesn't come out until maybe 5:30 the night before. This means you have no idea what time you're going in (and never when you get out) until it happens. Your life is completely at the mercy of ATL. There are several upper level managers who lead by fear instead of example. You can show up and give your 110% every day and at the end of it all... You're just a replaceable number in the scheme of it all. They have a habit of pushing out quality employees while building up others who simply talk a good game. In my several years there I saw the entire office turn over again and again. Part of it is planned seasonal co ops and interns, but also full time techs, support staff and management too. I'm not kidding when I say everyone in this office was ready to take the next offer that came along. If you're looking at ATL thinking the grass may be greener, save yourself the agony.

Pros

There is often ample overtime avaliable, with the exception of during slow seasons.

Cons

Company culture is extremely toxic in general, offices are severely understaffed and overworked, yet you are likely to be delegated increasing work without reflection in salary or promotion

Pros

Free certifications (but on their terms)

Cons

Brutal place to work. The schedule is god awful. They tell you when you’re going to work at 6pm the night before. If you have kids or like making plans in advance, look for another job. Good luck getting day off requests approved. They will hire you for one position and put you on concrete and soils. The turnover rate is through the roof. I watched 8 people leave in four months. There’s an extreme disconnect between the manager and employees. Winter hours are a joke and unless you’ve been there for a while, you’re not getting 40 hours in the winter. Do yourself a favor and apply somewhere else.
