      Not the company for a woman to advance.

      Pros

      No out of pocket costs for health care premiums - paid entirely by the company. Stock ownership once you attain Project Engineer or higher so end of year payouts are nice. If you like to travel, then this is a company for you.

      Cons

      Long hours and if you're efficient in getting your work done in an eight hour day, the managers make you feel guilty for leaving before others in the office. They will move you at a moments notice so family life will be constantly on the go. Women will take about twice as long as the men in the company to get promotions - if ever. Women will also be told to hold off having families so they can concentrate on their careers. Men, however, are encouraged to quickly get married (usually to the office admin) and have a family. Apparently, it helps them focus on their careers.

      Pros

      A lot of the people here are extremely smart. You will run into a few that are off but for the most part a lot are spot on. If you can survive at least 2 years with Hensel Phelps, You are practically employable everywhere. Because everyone know that Hensel Phelps people are well trained.

      Cons

      Its not good for a family lifestyle. Financially, you will be just above broke but if you can stick it out for a few year, I think it would be worth it. Also if you can play within the "Good ol' boy" system, then this is the company just for you. Lastly, Hensel Phelps is known for great training just not good leadership. A lot of the higher ups were fast tracked through the system because so many people were quitting and getting fired. Therefore they lack some of the experience in there current job descriptions and have refused to train there replacement because they have developed the mentality of every man for themselves. So I could see where if use to be a family environment but that is diminishing quickly.
