Pros

Cons

-very minimal training -long hours (40-60 hrs/wk) -site visits sometimes required long driving distances ( maximum of 180 miles round trip for me) -only one company vehicle; be prepared to drive off road and on rough surfaces -schedule was given with little time in advance (sometimes I wouldn’t know where I was going until the night beforehand) -no office work was given

Pros

Great team building within each department/office. This is a great place to start out because everyone is willing to teach you something new. My office has been great with teaching the new hires how to do everything step by step, and they are very kind and welcoming.

Cons

The differences in what qualifies you to become a staff pm, scientist, or technician are inconsistent and confusing. The salary bumps are not as often as they should be. The senior pms can get good bonuses, but the people below that? EH..

Pros

-I work in one of the smaller offices of ECS (It escapes a lot of the bureaucracy) -It is a casual office and we are like a family here - My schedule flexibility is good. The managers and techs here typically work 50-60 hr/week. -We can do lunches occasionally and just yesterday got ice cream, etc. -Training and reimbursements (good for experience & building up your resume) -I deal with corporate a lot and they tend to be helpful most of the time. -Listing this in positive and negative, growth depends on your office... techs: talk to your Admins (seriously, we are happy to help- at least I am). For Example: We had a tech that was working towards a degree & was interested in a certain field that wasn't available with our office. I called up my contacts and was able to do an easy transfer to a higher position (instant $7/hr raise for him there). Just communicate!

Cons

- The offices are hit and miss with management; I have seen some that were toxic and then a few small great ones. -As stated before, Growth depends on your office. -The pay is terrible all around..not just for techs. They try to say that they make it up with other benefits but the benefits are average.
