Pros

I have spent the past 4 years working at ESP Associates and can tell you that you won't find a better civil firm. I always felt appreciated for my work and once a couple of leadership changes occurred, the culture changed for the better almost overnight. If it weren't for my spouse's position being relocated, I would have retired at ESP.

Cons

Commuting times to the south side of Charlotte was difficult at times.

Pros

Great Opportunity to learn. Nice office.

Cons

A lot of finger pointing without understanding the full picture. Company has gotten away from investing back into the company, like new equipment upgrade computers, etc. It is more about keeping private equity ownership happy than it is about keeping the employees happy. You could have 200+ hours of PTO and when you leave, you see none of it back. You invest in the company and get none of that investment back.
