      Pros

      I was hired to work in a BV office . It was a major change for me but I've learned more here than I have at any of my other jobs. Although I've never been extended an offer, there are wonderful opportunities to travel the world. I like working on various types of projects and client facing. Can be a great experience under the right leadership.

      Cons

      Where to start.... Long Hours/ Little Oversight to Management in Regional Offices (please don't get stuck with a micro manager like I have) there is no mechanism to report bad Project Manager's/ The regional offices always operate in Crisis mode/ High turn over (3 other people sat in my seat within 3 years and my supervisor just left a couple months ago.)/ Even though you landed the job at B&V, now you need to look for work to do, I spent plenty of time pitching my ability to work on projects to Project Managers, it kept me "billable"( or as I'd like to say "having a job-able"), but who should have to search for their own work? That's why I came to you B&V. If I wanted to be my own agent I would have started my own business. You may as well search for a new Job or start your own. Their review process is grueling it takes hours to fill out these forms, just for them to tell you that you are doing a satisfactory job. The working environment in this regional office sucks, I never got to see the office environment before they hired me (I'll never do that again). It's extremely stressful working.
