Pros

Good place to train yourself for a better future.

Cons

Too many to list: poor managment, everyone is an expendable asset to be utilized in as casual a way as possible. All your clients will be taken, and then they will can you at the earliest available moment and then say it wa for cause. They hand out no severance at all and it take legal threats to get them to treat you right upon departure. They force you to sign non compete agreements that basically hamstring you afterwards. They have every desire to go after large jobs but due to a lack of available capitatl will never get a performance bond to proove that they can actually do the deed. They want to have a larger footprint but are not really inclined to do the deed legitimately. They also have multiple layers of burecracy that destroy budget, incurring change orders that destroy any client relationship you could cultivate or bring with you. Avoid them like the plague. Currently going through an informal RIF...that they are using every reason they can not to pay severance to anyone they are getting rid of...and all of them are on the environmental side of operations.
