Good company to work for

Pros

Great teams to work with. Decent Work life balance as long as your manager has a family focused mindset. By yearly raises

Cons

Starting pay isn’t competitive with other environmental companies. By yearly raises are a positive thing but it prevents management to give raises to high performers. Organization lacks simple communication at times

Turnover continues to be an issue

Pros

Company has many resources that sets them a part from competitors, seems like they are finally investing in technology

Cons

There are too many demands that it’s hard to keep up unless you are working round the clock. They’ve outsourced a lot of jobs and eliminated several jobs where the responsibility is handed off to you to handle. They are burning out employees and don’t seem to listen to better support staff (mental health and culture seem to be low). The pay is low compared to other companies. The internal system is still very archaic so they have some work to do.

Great Company

Business Outlook

Pros

Work environment and culture are strong. Provides ample opportunities for growth and development. Compensation is comparable or above other opportunities in the area. The mission and impact to the environment to the surrounding community are a priority.

Cons

Organization and structure can be challenging as the bulk of higher leadership is based on the East Coast.
