Pros

Good pay but there is a reason....

Cons

...only because they have to pay more to get people in the door. Health benifits are the $700 a month for a family and this is a 50,000+ company!. My compnay was a quired by Jacobs and after a year there is less than 20% left of that company (C&B). THey say people are our greatest asset but in reality people are more of a hinderence. You have to do business thier way or it is the wrong way and thier way does not work. Avoid working here unless you have no other option and if you do go here keep looking for another job.
