Pros

They’ll give you a job. The pay isn’t great, but at least you’re working, right?

Cons

They pay the lowest out of all the consultant firms in the area, so I strongly advise looking elsewhere first. The insurance isn’t great, you have to use your own vehicle for field work… unless you’re a surveyor, and they basically fire you right after you give your two weeks. They’ll hire “anyone with a pulse” which are exact words from management. The statement is true because they struggle keeping new hires long term. I would recommend staying away unless you’re truly that desperate for a job.

Pros

Good insurance. Family feel. Flexible.

Cons

A lot of favoritism. Very top heavy. Will lay off senior people to bring in cheap young people.

Pros

The only two pros were the health insurance (however, given the downward spiral of the company I cannot see that this will last much longer), and for the most part being able to work flexible hours.

Cons

Incredibly top-heavy. And instead of promoting from within, always hiring outside forces to made-up positions. In five years I saw one person promoted from within. The company is suffering financially because of this (and other things). No raises unless you threatened to quit. When I left the Administrative employees were still in a FOUR-YEAR salary freeze, and since, according to ownership, they "don't make the company any money," they are not eligible for bonuses. However, since the company has not made money for several years, only very select employees received bonuses anyway. Extremely secretive upper-management. Every year employee surveys come back worse and worse and the company would note that fact to employees but ownership/management does not seem to care. I am not exaggerating when I say 90% of the employees I know there are looking for work elsewhere.
