      Pros

      Salary, Benny's, Hours, + two more words

      Cons

      Hostile work environment-Management drinks waaaay too much. Calling in with "I threw my back out"...that was code for hungover again! Emotionally stunted management, not afraid to get physical.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Flexible (work hours, work sharing amongst different departments), relaxed environment - Friendly - Expertise of senior staff; very knowledgeable and well connected group within/outside company - Good at and willing to train EITs on construction management/design

      Cons

      - Senior staff is extremely overworked, making it difficult for them to have time to delegate work to EITs. This affects EIT utilization (~95%) and overall performance during annual review (sometimes EITs go weeks without work even though the team allegedly has a lot of work). EITs are then left to do secretarial work. - Clients are cities/gov entities throughout the Houston/Gulf Coast area, so budgets are extremely tight, and the team is asked to do "favors". This puts EITs in an awkward position at times because of the "family" style work environment. - Lack of training for CAD/BIM
