      Pros

      Fantastic employee support in training and mentoring. Recognizes work life balance and institutes policies to promote this behavior. Within department of Landscape Architecture, great sense of camaraderie. Pay is within parity of private and public agencies and represented by the engineering union.

      Cons

      Promotion is difficult as top spots are rarely vacated. Established engineers reluctant to implement new technologies. Doesn't recruit well despite some obvious benefits of working here.
