Pros

They offer a good salary.

Cons

Management support is not the best. They are not so forthcoming about what is expected on the job. You end up driving Lon hours to the field and spending 10-12 hours per day in the field without proper safety gear. The PTO is not the best. They make you think it is unlimited PTO, meanwhile it isn’t. And they get upset when you want to take PTO days. They do not have great benefits like end of year bonus.

Pros

The office staff cares about employees, the staff is very caring about eachother, lots of after-work activities, good and honest work, managers are attentive to needs, and there are plenty of opportunities to move up the ladder.

Cons

Sometimes I'd rather be at work than at home.

Pros

Work from home freedom Boss is very communicative

Cons

They rely on ghost writing too much instead of having the inspectors write their own reports. They hire very very poor subcontractors to do inspections that give very bad info and take poor photos. No breaks from one report to the other. The report review also needs help... lots of errors in prior reports. Constantly overloaded fixing everyone's mistakes. Lazy coworkers. Lots of late late nights working.
