CH2M Hill Plateau Remediation Reviews

Pros

Able to perform work without being micro-managed. My direct managers were excellent.

Cons

Lack of training in many areas. Upper management not so good.

Pros

Ch2m Hill pays well and has interesting projects throughout the US

Cons

Being a large corporation sometimes there is a bureaucratic level that can be annoying and difficult to navigate

Pros

good pay and good people

Cons

Work life balance is not good

Pros

Great people in the field.

Cons

The higher ups never took the time to send my tools to me back home so it cost me thousands of dollars to replace them which they apparently cared little about.

Pros

Industry competitive pay, different assignments for those willing to stretch, training provided in order to qualify workers to do their job.

Cons

Pigeon holing. Hr citation of industry competitive wage then hook and pegging salary to market to why they cant give better pay or raises for merit. No money for more than minimal training. 45 minute commute each way but not considered in salary when comp against town wage, where commute is 5 minutes. Systemic tribal knowledge loss in the name of staffing cost.

Pros

Lots of different scope to experience.

Cons

Very restrictive requirements to working in that environment.

Pros

working primarily four days a week was good

Cons

working far from home made the daily commute take up a lot of time.

Pros

Work Environment is not stressful.

Cons

Contract is short term and contract.

Pros

The job is reasonably stable.

Cons

If the government shuts down, you better have PTB (Vacation Bank) to weather the upsets. If you haven't been there 20 years, you are outside of the fence and treated like a new hire...no outside experience considered for vacation accrual. Since it is a government contract, you aren't paid for how well you do or what you do...you are paid what the contract says that your hiring title, experience, and degree says you are worth. There is no negotiating with exempts.

Pros

Good salaries and respect from peers. Strong safety culture and every employee has the right to stop work if they feel unsafe. The work schedule is 80 hrs per 2 weeks, but you get every other Friday off!

Cons

This branch of CH2M HILL has over 2000 employees and job responsibilities are constantly being shifted from one individual to the next, or are not shifted at all when an employee moves on. The org charts are also never correct and management makes no effort to ensure turn-over when employees change responsibilities. This means very little expertise and a huge loss of records.
