Pros

Pretty autonomous and lacks the micromanagement which so often, ironically, makes it harder to stay on track and complete tasks at other places of business.

Cons

Not recommended for any graduates with ambitions. The job is akin to attending your first frat party and having to to hold a beer funnel for the duration of said party; but alas, instead of sweet butterbeer tickling your throat, everyone who was hired before you gets to walk to the funnel and dump whatever work they have no interest of doing, regardless of whether it makes logistical sense for you to do it or not. Go scrub floors at Goldman; I daresay, the work will be more meaningful and for sure you will receive higher compensation.

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.
