Pros
Great opportunities to travel if you are unwed and/or have no children.
Cons
The company has had a revolving door of CEOs and no one knows where they stand at any level. Numbers not people count.
Advice to Management
Get your organization together before coming down on your subordinates.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Cardno full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
Nothing positive about this company.
Cons
Pay is lowest in field, very few holidays, NO bonuses, raises are insulting when you get one. No upward movement, particularly if you are not white. Total lack of leadership at all levels. No respect for workers.
Advice to Management
Get a clue about how to keep employees happy and retain good ones, fire the deadbeats and crybabies. Respect your employees and pay them a living wage!

Pros
Depending on your role you may have special perks such as working remotely, a company phone and laptop. In general, people are friendly & supportive.
Cons
Lacks diversity, not too many people of color. I was the only non-white in a group of about 50. They are cheap with their holidays. You become very disposable.
Advice to Management
Get direction!

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Cardno full-time
Pros
Cardno has been a good place to work. Management cares about the employees on a personal level and want them to succeed. They recognize employees for their successes/achievements but also hold everyone accountable to do their job well. Expectations are high, but so are the rewards. They also truly care about having a good work-life balance.
Cons
The new company structure with divisions makes it more difficult to create efficiencies across the whole company giving rise to more manual processes and different rules depending on the division.
Advice to Management
Simplify the company structure to help leverage efficiencies and reduce redundancies. It will help strengthen your bottom line and position the company to be able to sustainably grow in the future.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Cardno full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Top management is very open to suggestions to improve processes and allows lower management to implement changes to create efficiencies. Not a lot of red tape and politics to go through.
Great work life balance
Fair recognition system
Generous annual merits
Friendly co-workers and departmentsCons
Divisional structure within EIN's is difficult to manage and support with stand alone policies. Financial system is outdated and difficult to work with.
Advice to Management
Continue to embrace change when it leads to better collaboration and creates efficiencies. Move back towards a shared services model as this is a more sustainable platform for growth.
