Pros

A weigh-station for a lot of people who are just starting out. You get the opportunity to put in a lot of time, which gives you the chance to hone your skills. The company will give you a perspective on work life that you can use as a basis for measuring your growth once you move on.

Cons

As many reviewers have said, the pay is low and the hours are long. I was hired at $68K, which is high for this place from what I've learned. On a standard 40 hr work week, that amounts to $32.69 per hour. However, over the past year, I was required to put in 3103 hours, which effectively makes my pay $21.91 per hour or $45.5K per year. My situation is what it's like for most everyone here, in some cases worse, in some cases maybe a little better. Think about what a deal the owner gets with this kind of practice and how much less your own precious time is worth! When you do the numbers, things get really bleak.

Not Worth It

Pros

I like that GS is not laying people off because people are always quitting and the company is always selling there is always work here. You can count on that.

Cons

The company brass talks a good game but can't deliver. For some reason there is an arrogance and stubbornness that keeps good things from happening. The people who are in a position to help seem cut off at the knees. For as big a small company as it is, everything is makeshift - if you've ever seen The Little Rascals put on a play, that's equal to how this company operates. It just can't get to a professional level on things.

My Experience Has Been Positive

Pros

My experience at Geographic Solutions has been terrific. Great team of dedicated staff who are more like family than coworkers. The company management has demonstrated a commitment to the employees, continually evaluating options to improve work/life needs. There have been opportunities for personal growth and advancement during my tenure.

Cons

The project work schedule is a challenge. The company competes for new projects by submitting proposals to competitive bids. The timing/project requirements are often dictated by the client which impacts the company deadlines.
