Pros

flexibility, time managing, convenient location

Cons

No employee care, not a buzzy upbeat place to be honest with each other when working together. Target driven with ridiculous customer expectations and with little care for working staffs needs. Lack of sense of humour to work collaboratively. Outdated, high staff turnover, low pay, unrealistic expectations and unreal lack of empathy towards team moral. Would not recommend anyone to work there.

Pros

Pay is better than nearly every other environmental consulting firm in my area. Opportunities to work with big well known clients on complex projects. Hours are flexible and remote work. No micromanagement. As long as you hit your hours you can work when and where you want.

Cons

It was a struggle to hit my goals at first. Life is good if you are on a big project, but if you are working lots of small projects it is a grind. Moving up the ladder can be slow.
