Pros

Overtime regularly available if you want it.

Cons

Equipment is poorly maintained, often not fit for purpose resulting to injury or further damage. Cracked / pirated software being used by multiple offices. Not enough basic training. Regularly forced to work through lunch breaks. Regularly expected to complete jobs in a fraction of the quoted timeframe. Resulting in rushed, below industry standard surveys being undertaken. Close to zero communication from middle or upper management. Management not understanding the basics of surveying, Resulting in data not accurately fitting background map data.

Pros

I’ve really enjoyed my time here so far. There’s plenty of space to make the work your own and feel like you're making a difference. Management have been very supportive with great communication. The team’s I'm involved with as well as the wider company have been extremely welcoming, The work’s varied and you’re trusted to make informed decisions and do a good job. It’s been a great fit for me so far!

Cons

Maybe chances to earn external accreditations, this is provided for surveyors but unsure for office staff? That being said, I would have confidence of this being approved if proposed to management!
