Pros

Steady work for the most part Opportunity to travel Flexible schedules Name recognition

Cons

Management should receive professional training Interesting to see that comments indicate management cronyism is similar across offices Loyalty to employee is not the bottom line Poor efforts on compensation - especially after professional/licensed status is achieved

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.
