Pros

Money is good Room for growth in the right setting I've never heard of anyone getting laid off for lack of work. They will always find you something.

Cons

If you are someone working in the field, you feel easily forgotten about. Since I started 5 years ago, I have unfortunately only had managers that care more about positions being filled than the career path the individual aspires for. They do what is opportunistic for them, they do not keep the employee's best interest at hand unless you are incredibly valuable to them. Communication between high up management from main office and field crew is nearly non-existent.

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.
