Pros
Strong reputation in the region, which carries weight on a résumé.
Some genuinely good people who care and want to see projects succeed.
Pay and benefits were competitive for the area.
Cons
Expectations were inconsistent: one manager would want something done one way, while another expected it done completely differently. This led to confusion, rework, and ultimately internal frustration
Project leadership was uneven—Some supervisors were inexperienced or overwhelmed, which created messy projects and unnecessary stress.
Limited mentorship or growth opportunities; Seemed like the only way to grow was the "good ol'boy system"
Training and onboarding for new hires are almost nonexistent. I often felt thrown into situations without the tools or background to succeed.
