Pros

Great company! Great people! Given me a lot of experience and really opened my eyes to what post college work will be like. I hear about others with co-op jobs who are not really doing too much real work while I am usually really busy with project work. The atmosphere is fun but you are expected to always do your best and get your work done. I especially enjoyed getting to travel to job-sites, all expenses paid for, and get to see a lot of really neat plants. Also, company parties are great fun. Lots of perks!

Cons

As a co-op you are expected to do all the little jobs around the office, and you must do them. They can at times be exhausting and you will feel like you are not appreciated.

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.
