Good for entry level

Project coordinator

Pros

good pay, easy work, not too stuffy of an environment to work in, friendly people, always hiring someone, mostly interns and low level employees. There used to be a training program for site acquisition however that has not been spoken of. Really if you dont have a law school degree you can only plan on being a coordinator

Cons

not too much in the way of advancement, there is no training program to get you on to the next level of your career, location is near the airport so traffic is horrible

Jacobs, Tucson, AZ

Administrative assistant

Pros

There were no pros for this company.

Cons

They acquired us and proceeded to destroy the Tucson office (Mining & Minerals) as many of the engineers who had worked for them before predicted and they were not happy to be working for Jacobs again. As an admin assistant I was treated like a disposable commodity and within two years the staff went from about 150 down to 60. The mining companies in the area (FreeportMcmaran, etc.) did not want to work with Jacobs so they were not able to get any new projects. The medical benefits were terrible. Overtime became mandatory so forget work/life balance. It was dismal.
