      Pros

      People were easy to work with and managers were fair and understanding. They have a good variety of projects. The firm is growing both organically and through acquisitions. This is always good to hear for employees because it offers more opportunity and stability.

      Cons

      Pay is average for a firm of this size. Nothing special about the firm for the industry. They started cutting some portions of paid overtime for salary exempt employees and tried to sell it as industry standard (although not sure it is when weighing the rest of their benefits package). In 2019 they changed their vacation policy (amount of days accrued) so that it took longer to get more days unless you were high up in the management chain. This is all due to the ownership structure. The firm is owned by First Reserve and is not employee-owned. Engineers working at a more employee-focused (e.g. employee owned) firm would get better pay and benefits.

      Thank you for taking the time to leave this thorough review. It's great to see that overall you were pleased with your experience while working at CHA. We take pride in our rigorous market research and have built a benefits package that is highly competitive within our industry. Although there have been some changes over the last couple of years to align our practices with those of our industry peers, there has also been significant progress in enhancing our health and welfare programs to offer more robust and affordable options to our staff. We will continue to be proactive with our approach to ensuring our benefits program meets or exceeds the need of our employees and their families.

      Pros

      Good pay and benefits, flexible hours, and great people

      Cons

      Communication broke down as company rapidly expanded in size, but that's something to learn from.

      CHA offers competitive compensation and benefits to our team members and we’re glad you were happy with those offerings. We hear you regarding communication becoming more challenging as we continue to grow as an organization. Now more than ever, it's important for us to ensure our communication is timely and relevant. Our company wide town hall events and very active intranet site, are just two ways we are focusing more than ever on sharing information. Thank you for your feedback.

      Good and Bad depending on location and management

      Pros

      - Salary was competitive - Very social environment depending on office location - Benefits are decent - Was part of a company acquisition, so cutover was pretty smooth - Everyone is willing to help you when needed

      Cons

      - Micromanaging (depends on your office location) - A few managers are very poor in regards to Flexibility - A few managers are very cliquey. Like to gossip about other employees - Some managers don’t like to take responsibility for the mistakes they made. Instead they blame you - After discussing with my manager, I was told I would be able to work on different projects however that has yet to happen. - Once you work in one area in the department, they keep you there
