Pros

There is a lot of overtime. A truck is provided to use at work and when on-call. A cell phone is provided.

Cons

Manager's lack the skills to maintain contracts such as communication skills, work ethic, and knowledge of Environmental Science. Manager's are given a small crew and must be able to multi-task in order to complete projects. Thus, manager's must participate in manual labor activities.

Pros

Great benefits. Affordable health insurance

Cons

Stagnant growth. They only focus on leadership development or licensed trades. Growth is based on friendships. Skills and experience don’t mean much.
