Company does not care for its employees.

Pros

I literally have nothing good to say about this sorry excuse for a company. They treat their high-skilled employees as if they are disposable.

Cons

As part-time, they expect you to work around their schedule while dragging you along with hours that aren't guaranteed and leave you barely scraping by to pay bills. Management promises works and it falls through. Horrible organization!

Pros

Excellent working for Tetra Tech. I was based in the region - in Africa and recieved a lot of support for my career development

Cons

I wish there can be an inclusion of a retirement plan or pension scheme for those that are not in the HQ or not US citizens. I am sure an arrangement can be made to this

Good work hours and experience. They gave me a lower offer than what I wanted and what I think I'm worth for base pay.
