Pros

It's a small, understaffed company so you get a lot of responsibility as a junior employee. There are some tremendous, hardworking, intelligent people there, but none of them are in the management positions that they deserve because they're not related to the CEO.

Cons

Zero work-life balance and you're basically guilt-tripped and looked down upon if you try to leave at a reasonable time. They follow goverment per diem rates and have a travel incentive (a plus, I guess), but no amout of money is worth what they'll put you through when you're on the road. They promise rotations home every 2-3 weeks but the jobs are so poorly staffed that you can't actually take them. They promise incentives like a twice yearly bonus, but they'll be withheld because the company is cash poor. They don't have a program/calendar for promotions, so when they say "we can promote you as soon as you're ready" what they really mean is "we don't actually have to promote you...ever."

Pros

good civil contractor for low bid work

Cons

unsophiticated firm; change their direction every 6 months; weird vibe-Stepford wives atmosphere; if you were not there 20 years ago you will never belong; many illegal ways of making people work excessive hours; nepotism; passive agressive management--they will lure you in with big $$ and lay you off in 6 months after they pick your brain. Very untrustworthy.Fake safety numbers.

Pros

The people you work with are fun and enjoyable. Health benefits are pretty good.

Cons

The culture and values that are written and shared with employees are not carried out at all. The most blatant one is Corporate Politics. There is a fine line at Conti and you are either on the good side or the side that just does their job. If you are on the "favorite" side you are worshipped and given better treatment than the people on the other side. Being a favorite also means sucking up and not giving feedback upper management does not want to hear. The group of people who are on the other side just do their job are not recognized for any rewards. They do a good job and get their work done but aren't "favorites". Don't expect a raise or promotion because you won't receive it. Conti does not take care of employees who have been there 5+ years. They treat new hires better than loyal employees who have been there and worked hard for the company. Conti implemented a flex hour plan which is a joke anyway. Employees are afraid to use it because if you don't work 50+ hours a week, you are looked at differently because upper management feels you are not doing enough work. Employees can voice these concerns to their managers, but they just get swept under the carpet and forgotten about. Company moral is at an all time low and employees act like its every employee for themselves.
