Good job, but not a good career

Pros

Pay is decent. Benefits are good. Hours are manageable, meaning you could *easily* to do your job in 40 hours if you're in corporate services. You have to keep expectations under control, and you'll be fine. Lots of great employees.

Cons

There's no where to move up. Non-billable staff can sometimes feel like second class, no matter how hard you work. Lots of favorites and politics. Leadership in Grand Island is STRAIGHT out of the 80s. Employees in the metro areas will have a hard time relating to them and their policies / communication style.

Pros

1. Worked on project some of my friends only dreamed of working on at other firms. 2. Company will give you as much responsibly as you can handle. 3. Firm was very understanding of my special needs at home and was flexible when I needed to shift hours a little. 4. I would not hesitate to knock on the door and ask for a job. Very good firm to work for. 5. Firm has a very powerful reputation. While I have left Cannon to explore other opportunities , when contractors or consultants hear I worked at Cannon, it is instant recognition and respect.

Cons

1. Firm is very top heavy. Too many "senor executives" that have to get paid, most jobs are hurting for hours to complete due the "multiplier". 2. Due to the lack of hours, a lot of OT (unpaid) has to be worked to finish the job. 3. Some select workers get away with doing sub par work. 4. This will be the 3rd year with no/minimal raise the those still there.
