Pros

Everyone is friendly, welcoming and always willing to help when needed at Gale Associates. Management encourages professional growth and overall happiness, and are very receptive to any questions or concerns. Gale’s benefits are great, they recently introduced college loan repayment program, where they start contributing a predetermined amount towards employee’s student loan after 1 year of employment. They also offer tuition assistance to employee’s who are continuing education. Gale coordinates monthly social events that contributes to good morale within the company and gives it more of a family type feel instead of just co-workers.

Cons

I don't currently have any cons. I'm very happy at Gale.

Pros

- Management and colleagues are knowledgeable and respectful people who are always willing to help with all projects. - The "work hard, play hard" attitude is common here. We are always busy with work but management makes it a point to wind down at least once a month with a fun activity planned for all office staff. - The projects we have are usually interesting in nature and always different from the last. We are constantly learning. - Management encourages getting active in the A/E/C community and attending seminars and trainings. If you express interest in a specific training course or seminar, Gale will usually help provide funds to attend the training. - Gale will match a portion of your 401k contribution.

Cons

- The pay could be better. Compared with other engineering firms, as well as construction companies, the pay seems to be low. - Training for internal procedures is limited, i.e. there is no training or handbook on project management procedures such as invoicing, generating purchase orders, writing proposals, accounting processes, etc. This becomes confusing as you gradually morph into the project management role and have no previous understanding of the role. - There is no clear transition from "Engineer" to "Manager" and therefore, management styles are inconsistent. - Annual reviews are typically not annual, and sometimes only once every other or every three years.
