Pros

Great salary, great stepping stone, mid-tier managers were top of the line, lots of hard workers, difficult to recruit personnel so job security

Cons

Long commute, lots of negativity in workforce, no raises or career development once in position, biased towards LDS workers, religion prevalent in workplace(choose the red campaign..literally CTR rings LDS members wear), work environment is very cliquey and witch-hunts will happen if government/coworkers don’t like someone.

Pros

Decent culture, individual contributors are fine, management is lacking

Cons

The company operates like many smaller companies depending on which business market you are in so your experience will vary. For some, it's the best company, others will say it's the worst; it just depends on your region/group even at the local level. Water/wastewater is a good market in most offices, transportation is hit an miss depending on location.
