Pros

Flexible hours and plenty of PTO.

Cons

Lots of politics and a very cut throat environment. It seemed that everyone was fending for themselves. People expect all the help from you and when it comes time for them to do their part they are not present. Even though the hours were flexible, I felt like I was constantly on the clock. The stress level can be crippling at times with the end of the month process that they swear by. I truly felt that this was an unhealthy way to live. Some people can do it, but most people don't stay past 3 years which leads to very unqualified workers. No training for any of the new hires. Equipment is constantly breaking. Very unorganized.

Pros

Good group of people in local office.

Cons

Stuck in the past. Unwilling to consider updating methods or procedures. "We've done it this way for 30 years and it has worked." Sales relies upon project engineers to do most of their work for them. When volume of work is slow that becomes the engineers responsibility to go find new clients. Can't reliably pay the most basic of utility bills on time. I've seen the power cut off 2x and the gas this past winter.
