Just OK

Pros

Friendly and Diverse Team to work with, Benefits are OK.

Cons

No mentorship. Constantly increase in job expectations with little or no salary compensation. Understaffed so always working beyond the expected hours. No support or guidance when you really need help. Always take from the bottom to feed the top!

Pros

Good coworkers on project level. Small town life. Semi close to a lot of major towns for events and such. Decent compensation for a small town, but getting a promotion usually means hopping on the management track and getting into the good old boy network.

Cons

Small town life. Promotions and what is required to earn them is not clearly communicated. Management demonstrates a good old boy vibe. Expect to be asked to perform above and beyond your job duties if you get tasks accomplished, with no increase in pay. Biggest con is no direct contract driven competitor in the area for job comparison. Hopefully our job market is moving towards salaries being more readily comparable irrespective of where the job is based to remedy this.
