Pros

Large multinational corporation with opportunities to find new contacts and friends. You have to be your own manager and promotor.

Cons

You have to be your own manager and promotor. No loyalty to you or your efforts. Pay is consistently far lower than other companies that offer environmental services. Projects are poorly planned, poorly staffed, and even more poorly managed. Turnover has been high and now has been replaced with qualified people just leaving. There is too much stress and too much posturing by a management system inflexible and unsupportive to a team already stressed out by too much work.

Pros

I have experienced challenging engagements and. opportunities to propose and execute innovative solutions to complex projects. I am trusted to manage my time appropriately.

Cons

The handling of COBRA benefits for my ex-spouse has been very disappointing. Why in the world would AECOM or ADP send the COBRA election information to the employee instead of directly to the person who needs to elect COBRA coverage? What would happen if this was a contentious situation and I decided not to pass it on? Some team in the Benefits department in Houston did not notify ADP of a change of address resulting in a 1-1/2 month delay in receipt of the initial forms when there is a 2 month limit for electing COBRA coverage. ADP outsources its 800 calls to India. The people answering the phone read from a script and try to dismiss the caller if the request is outside of the script. It is up to the caller to persist and request to be transferred. ADP appears not to communicate some key information among its various departments because contradictory letters have been generated. A recent conversation with ADP confirmed that ADP is struggling to decide which plans are available.

Pros

Opportunities to work in several fields, opportunity for advancement, work/life balance. Flexibility to work over time and in some cases, work from home occasionally.

Cons

Changes in line management happen often. Also, as with any consulting firm, you always have to be on top off the work you have coming in so that you can remain billable. But managers are very helpful finding staff work when needed.
