Pros

Salary was outstanding! 4/10 schedule was okay, too. Would have been nicer if we would have been given a choice though.

Cons

People are unwilling to help new comers. Everything is a secret...everyone keeps everything to themselves making it very difficult for new comers to successfully get onboarded. It took myself and a fellow co-worker one week before we could make long distance calls...and we were working closely with another office in another state! A very backstabbing, backbiting company.

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.
