Pros

Flexible with hours, good starter company

Cons

Constant turnover of staff. Regular intimidation of employees by management. Many lay offs and always in fear of losing your job. Little to no training for new employees. Immense amount of pressure to work extra unpaid hours to learn the job. A lot of effort goes into the image of the company rather than trying to better the company. No opportunity for advancement. Good employees leave, if you resign they ask you to keep it quiet then ask you to leave before your two weeks are up. Horrible benefits, over $200 each paycheck for health care.

Pros

Field crew is like family when they're not being laid off

Cons

This company only cares about how they look to other places, not how they treat their employees. A bunch of micromanaging higher ups that don't belong there, overworked field crew that deserves better, and supervisors that don't realize that laying people off won't magically make the rest of their employees work harder. Seriously, unless you love hearing about how this company is women-owned (but men operated), random mandatory employee "appreciation" days, dangerously old equipment, and cheap nasty pizza don't risk your life for these people. Hopefully they'll be out of business soon.

Pros

Flexible work schedule! Their really understand of family, emergencies, and time off being sick. The company also tends to work with your school schedule and even will give you up to 500 dollars toward tuition if you’re going to school toward engineering/ Auto Cad / Survey. They give you paid time for jury duty. Your immediate “Project Manager” is extremely knowledgeable, caring, and very easygoing, but they don’t have any actual power. You can ask for more money if you feel you deserve more. Raises are always in dollars amounts which is very nice. Free life insurance policy!

Cons

The partners are extremely out of touch with the inner workings of the office. They make rashly decisions that often make things harder for the employees left behind. The partners often feel the need to assertive which often just cause paranoia and fear. The partners are the worst part of your job. The Vice President, is the worst, he just believe whatever he wants without fact or reason. He often reminds everyone he’s been there for 30 years and people “should jump for him”. He deeply enjoys yelling. The health care for individuals is very expensive. It’s like whack-a-mole, someone is gone every week that you never see coming. The leaving process is very upsetting and embarrassing. Even if you quit with notice, you’re treated like a criminal. You’re not allowed to tell anyone, and you are still stood over and watched as you pack your belonging. The office is very dusty, and cleaning service doesn’t do a great job. I’ve seen the company do thru a couple cleaning companies, but it always ends up the same way. Also, if you are a person of color, you’re given less opportunities and receive less chances then someone who is of Europe’s dissent. Also, the field personnel typically doesn’t get included in office event, but they’re left cold pizza.
