Pros

You get paid on Thursdays.

Cons

First firm Ive come across that doesn’t see AutoCAD, CAD managing, etc. as a major necessity. Unaware of the national CAD standards. Don’t feel that drafters, designers and engineers are different positions and experience levels. Apparently don’t know there’s more then 2 colors in autocad. I can go on and on. Let’s just say there construction documents and file management are uuuugly! Benefits dont compare to other firms. Have to pay for employee only insurance across the board. Oh, They do offer free life insurance… less than your salary.

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.
