Business outlook

Pros

- Steady work & stability. - Competitive wages. - Certification/Education compensation/incentives. - Longevity. - Government/Building official relations. - They make up for the "left out" feeling with occasional company events .i.e. "Zoo days" and they send out Holiday baskets.

Cons

- Unless you are in one of the main offices, you will more than likely not see many of your colleagues and be mostly working alongside county/city/jurisdictional employees. (This often leaves you feeling left out)
