Pros

Bonuses were offered after a probationary period, some flexibility with working remote.

Cons

Everything about this company is sleazy. You are taught to fight to include CaptiveAire as a design alternate when it is very clear we couldn't meet the specs. "We will deal with it later" was a very common phrase in the office. You will learn very little in the way of actual MEP design, despite what they very generously call a "technical resource center." Your regional manager can make the office a miserable place and there is no transparency on how bonus profit sharing is split among team members. The CEO constantly throws his political beliefs in your face through mandatory "book club meetings" and trying to undo COVID restrictions meant to protect his employees. Truly the worst place I have ever worked.

Pros

Decent starting salary with average benefits package

Cons

Management would do anything to prevent employees from unionizing, which led to an unhealthy work-life balance where working beyond the standard 40 hours a week was the norm. Constructive feedback was notably absent, and employees faced terminations without explanation, justified by vague "company policy." Management also frequently discussed their conservative views and criticized opposing beliefs, creating a divisive and hostile work environment. Although administrative positions are listed as entry-level, they would realistically require at least three years of experience to navigate the insufficient training and lack of feedback effectively.
