Pros

Things are great when there is plenty of work. Pay tends to be above to well above average for the area.

Cons

The hire and fire business model isn't sustainable in smaller market cities. I was recently terminated due to chronic low workload. Two week payout and no severance after multiple decades of loyal service to this company. I would not recommend this as a good place to work as there is ZERO job security when business is slow, even for skilled, experienced employees who perform at a high level.

Pros

Decent culture, individual contributors are fine, management is lacking

Cons

The company operates like many smaller companies depending on which business market you are in so your experience will vary. For some, it's the best company, others will say it's the worst; it just depends on your region/group even at the local level. Water/wastewater is a good market in most offices, transportation is hit an miss depending on location.
