Pros

The pay is fair. Some of the technicians and engineers are really good workers.

Cons

The leadership is the worst I have ever experienced after 20+ years in the industry. They don’t know how to communicate with their team members. They blame their team members for things they no control over. If you are on salary like me, they expect you to work 10+ hours a week at least that you’re not going to even get credit for. Let alone paid for! None of the group leaders are qualified for their positions. They’ve just been there the longest. Compared to my my previous team leaders and managers-they’re a complete joke. Do your self a favor and stay far away if you can-trust me it’s not worth it.

Pros

Good group of people in local office.

Cons

Stuck in the past. Unwilling to consider updating methods or procedures. "We've done it this way for 30 years and it has worked." Sales relies upon project engineers to do most of their work for them. When volume of work is slow that becomes the engineers responsibility to go find new clients. Can't reliably pay the most basic of utility bills on time. I've seen the power cut off 2x and the gas this past winter.
