The manager of my office is pretty understanding when it comes to taking necessary time off. Work can be feast or famine, but that's nothing extraordinary. When work is light, other offices can provide work or you can do field work, though that will mean a much longer day.
Cons
Again, feast or famine. Sometimes you'll work on a job until you're sick of it, some days you won't have much work at all.

Thank you for the constructive feedback and we’re happy you’re receiving a comfortable amount of time away from the office. Please don’t get sick of our projects. Remember, behind every project is a client and that client is a person that values our input and support! If we can better balance your workload, please communicate this to your supervisor, division manager and/or HR. Sometimes, work demands follow our clients’ needs, and at other times we can influence hours worked. Thanks again for taking the time to help make WGI a great place to work.
I think the connections with the my former coworkers was the only pro to this job.
Cons
Do I have a lot of cons. I think for starters it’s incredibly offensive to always work on projects that were underbid but was told they weren’t but always going over budget. Utilization goals is what ruined it in my opinion. But it was offensive because we always got in trouble about budgets but always did first time right on projects and produced high quality data but was never celebrated for it. Only beat up about the budget but meanwhile the company spent who knows how much for silly gifts or stuff nobody really cared to have. Not to mention the constant flights for pointless meetings at offices. The mood at the office was toxic and a lot of people before leaving was very distressed and annoyed with management but nobody would listen. Also going to salary is a joke. Expecting people to work more than 40 hours a week and not get paid overtime is as low as you could go but almost forcing it to help with the budgets on projects.

This was very disappointing to read, and even more so, the confusion is profound, especially with your six-year tenure. We sincerely hope you have found employment that offers you’re an environment consistent with your goals.
