Pros

Some nice people; very nice PTO (20 days, plus holidays); opportunity for overtime pay if an hourly employee.

Cons

Growing expectations of almost all employees without extending any sort of incentive to out perform previous results. Morale was abysmal, of the sort that made it painful to get up in the morning to go to work. Good ol' boy mentality and hierarchy was discouraging to deal with on a day to day basis.

Pros

Good group of people in local office.

Cons

Stuck in the past. Unwilling to consider updating methods or procedures. "We've done it this way for 30 years and it has worked." Sales relies upon project engineers to do most of their work for them. When volume of work is slow that becomes the engineers responsibility to go find new clients. Can't reliably pay the most basic of utility bills on time. I've seen the power cut off 2x and the gas this past winter.
