Pros

There are a handful of interesting project and interesting locations if you’re lucky enough to assigned to one

Cons

There’s zero communication and most of the time you’ll have no idea who to go to for the info you need. It’s not uncommon to have 10 different engineers from 3 different offices on a project. The mechanical engineer will not know or care who the electrical engineer is or even what office they’re in. The drawings will be half empty and poorly thought out since the engineers will never be onsite. Good luck ever getting ahold of your PM. The company is just a revolving door. They hire young engineers, pay them pennies, and then burn them out within a year. Then the site folks are left to try and piece it together. If you can handle the office politics, blatant favoritism, poor pay, and long hours you can scrape up some knowledge and experience. Far easier ways to go about it though.

Pros

* Your coworkers are likely into their job. * Project Managers care a lot and your voice will be heard about the work going on. * You definitely have job security. * Insane amount of experience and quick it might be in the zone of your field that you wanted but you will get a ton of experience. (Might end up being site installation supervisor as a controls engineer)

Cons

* People do not believe in work life balance at DG the project matters more than you when you are in the thick of it. * They are definitely under staffed for the work they have going on and you will be required to work more because of it. * You will work a crazy amount of overtime with no overtime pay. I had to work over 70 hour weeks frequently for the same pay. * They will say the bonuses add up for the overtime... this is a lie especially as a beginner the bonus looks like another check if it is good. Not worth it when you basically worked double work weeks for most of the year.
