Pros

Montrose is currently my first real job since graduating college last year in 2022, and I can say that it has been a great experience so far. I am currently part of our stack division and working as a field technician. The company's mission and core values are something that align with my own and I believe the work we do serves a good purpose. There is also a lot of flexibility when it comes to relocation and positions. As a technician, I get a lot of hours as well as travel time, so if your desire is not to sit at a desk all day, this is a good job for you. The management and personnel of the stack division are excellent and probably the biggest factor in my satisfaction with the company so far. At Montrose, we work as a well-oiled machine and so everybody helps each other out in order to get the job done. As a new hire, I have gotten superb treatment by management. They make me feel valued and I can tell that they genuinely want me to improve and succeed.

Cons

As a technician for the stack division at Montrose, I work in the field most of time, which often means more hours/overtime as well as travel. While this sounds great on paper, there can be times when it becomes a little exhausting. The work we do involves a lot of physical labor and discipline, so overexertion can come into play occasionally. However, the management at Montrose is aware of this and always looks out for their employees. If you are getting a bit overwhelmed by the hours and field work, they will accommodate you as best they can to keep you from burning out.

Pros

Company is highly adaptable. Maintains agility even though the company large. Upper management supports and encourages employee involvement.

Cons

Being a publicly traded company hinders some type of growth due to burdensome overhead.

Pros

Prior to our company's acquisition with MEG/Onterris, the company had a strong culture, supportive leadership, and employees who genuinely cared about one another and the success of the business.

Cons

If your company has been acquired, pay close attention to employee reviews and take them seriously. I did, and many of the concerns raised turned out to be accurate. Employees were repeatedly assured that the acquisition would create new opportunities and that jobs were secure. In my experience, that was not the reality. Long-tenured employees were gradually pushed out while similar positions were later reposted with modified titles or responsibilities. The former ownership ultimately lost control of decisions despite assurances that little would change. Employees with years of institutional knowledge spent years implementing new procedures, documenting procedures, learning the new system, and navigating disorganized Workday implementations with minimal support. Much of the guidance consisted of being directed to read instructions on the intranet. If you are in a finance position they will let you go! They will tell you they want it all centralized in Arkansas but that's not true, there are plenty of people working remote but you will be pushed out no matter how long you've been with your company. This not only affected me but our entire team was wiped out. They didn't give us a heads up in advance to look for anything for 2 years we were told everyone was safe and I believed them. Keep an eye out for the constant restructuring of upper management as well.

Thank you for a decade of contribution, and for sharing this so candidly. Change of this scale asks a lot of trust from employees, and we recognize that. We take feedback like yours seriously as we work to communicate more clearly through transitions and support the people navigating them. We'd genuinely value hearing more directly please contact our HR team at HRCorp@onterris.com so we can listen fully. Kevin Gill, SVP, HR
