Call & Nicholas reviews

CNI is a challenging and engaging place to work with a solid 40+ year reputation of providing technical expertise to an international client base. The employees are relatively tight-knit and there are lots of opportunities for motivated employees to learn and grow. The company is 100% employee owned (~30% of the employers are part-owners) which has a positive effect on company culture. For example: - The work environment is very flexible - as long as you get your work done, they don't put too many restrictions on how/when/where you do it (e.g., if you prefer to keep later/earlier hours or need to pick up a sick child from school and finish up from home, generally not a problem as long as you are available as your project work requires it). - The benefits are great - 100% of healthcare premiums are covered (not including vision and dental), vacation starts at ~2.5 weeks and goes up by 5 days every two years (max is 27 but you can roll over up to 5 and they buy back the rest). Sick time accrues indefinitely. - Engineers and geologists are paid hourly so those working overtime are compensated accordingly and the majority of profits are distributed amongst all of the employees (not just shareholders) as year-end bonuses. - The leaders of the company genuinely care about the work and their employees and their doors are pretty much always open (literally and figuratively).

-An overall nice work environment - casual but hard-working -Compensation is decent or at least in-line with the industry -Employee-owned so great healthcare, bonuses, etc. -Opportunity for travel -Straight pay means you're paid for overtime -Nebulous boundaries between engineers and geologists allows for each to broaden their skill sets
