Pros

-Trains new staff pretty well, few gaps from training to daily-tasks -Hires assortments of architecture degrees, accredited and unaccredited. For people who didn't have the scores to get into the NAAB schools, this is a great starting point! -If you don't like your immediate coworkers there is space in the company to move pretty easily. -Not salary based, so you are paid overtime. Can be a Con if you're seeking Salary. This is specific to the architecture field. -Benefit package is average to slightly above average. -Employee Owned company, You will be reminded of this very often.

Cons

-Overtime in the way of 50-60 hour workweeks pretty consistently for half of the year. -Slow to the point of laying-off the other half. You won't get canned if you were the one doing the 50-60 hour workweeks. -Literally hundreds of site-surveying out of hometown. Not family oriented, and doesn't compromise much here. -Paid under market rate, and you have to quit before they try to negotiate. Have spoken to several friends who also left and I can verify its undervaluing it's staff compared to the next similar-scaled firm. -Unpaid scope creep in so many ways. Technicians doing designer and project-manager jobs, then reprimanded when done poorly. -Has deleted benefit hours without paying out, against their own policy.
