Pros

Corporate HDR is great, providing many perks and stock ownership that can allow employees to save and make a lot of money in the long run.

Cons

Local office and area dictates an entire national program. Unfortunately leadership (more like good ol boy managers) lack involvement and inspiration with the other offices, younger staff, and general direction of the program. Hard to grow and be recognized unless you are bringing in millions of dollars in work to keep the Billings machine running.

Pros

The 401k is good, that's it..

Cons

The main complaint is having to beg for work within the company. They don't have enough work to give you and then complain that your overhead is too high. Communication and training is terrible. I've sent numerous emails to coworkers only to be ignored. You have to keep reaching out for someone to respond to you. The project managers also don't budget the labor for their projects well. They're very tight about how many hours you should spend on an assignment and it's often unreasonable, like read and compare a 600+ page document to a 300+ page technical document in 2 work days. The health insurance sucks too. Things that used to be covered are no longer covered such as basic labs. The insurance carrier is always denying services such as an MRI.
