Pros

Prior to acquisition, Bergmann Associates was a great place to work.

Cons

Upon being acquired by Colliers Engineering and Design, the compensation, benefits, bonus structure and growth potential were all significantly reduced, Despite assurances that all would remain the same, benefits specifically 401K, all had increases in cost and reduction in benefits. Similarly, salary increases in Rochester were less than those in the NJ office. Promotions are also given to NJ based employees at a significantly higher rate (even accounting for the office size differences).

Pros

Job security due to the financial security of a large company like Colliers.

Cons

Has been little to no room for growth, makes no effort to train and retain young talent, constantly hiring mid-senior level managment and work falls to the few junior employees. Every year you are promised a larger bonus the next year, The bonuses have only gotten smaller since I arrived.
