Great place with an emphasis on family

Pros

Great paid time off, 18 days vacation and 7 days sick with the option to cash out hours. Expectations are working 40 hours a week for analysts and admins with opportunities for extra compensation. Fully paid health and dental for employees and their dependents. Colleagues are congenial and senior leadership invests in knowing their employee population. Retirement benefits (ESOP and money purchase pension) can result in a lot of money from the company and allow employees to legitimately retire. There is educational allowances available to employees as well. The division I worked in emphasized importance of professional development and certifications were paid by the company.

Cons

Changes can be slow and depending on which contract you are on, you can be the sole Tecolotian embedded and may feel removed from the company.

Great place to work, but you have to do your due diligence

Pros

It feels like family here. Good work is rewarded, and criticism is always constructive. Management works hard to keep morale up, and it is a true employee owned culture, you feel loyal to your team and your customers. I have had my fair share of work in various industries, and know that corporate culture can be cold, but NOT HERE. Tecolote provides a highly professional and nurturing environment to build your skills, gain immense knowledge and exposure, travel, and take advantage of the mentor-ship that is always available as well as encouraged. They create an environment to help grow high quality project control professionals. I love my job.

Cons

I see that there are many reviews here on GlassDoor that are from junior analysts complaining of boring work, and mediocrity. Some of this is true, but it is also a foundation for building a great analyst. There is some red tape to get around when wanting to surpass mediocrity and take your work and your company to the next level. Passionate people may become frustrated. Overcoming that frustration is up to the individual (which is not a problem to those of us that are thick skinned).
