Pros
Colleagues are wonderful. Depending on your position, you get to expense meals as relationship building.
Cons
Terrible work life balance. TEK grossly underpays its employees and demands a lot from them. Workload does not match the compensation and expectations are very high. Management dismissed your concerns when you bring up an unreasonably high workload. Expectation is that you work outside of work hours constantly, even though management tells you that isn’t the expectation. Benefits are atrocious. There is no flexibility. No matching 401K contributions. They don’t offer most holidays other companies do. They promote not based on leadership qualities, but instead on who they like and are friends with. Minorities don’t ever seem to advance in the company and many end up leaving. Culture can be incredibly exhausting. They want to know all about your personal life. Their goal is to at least make you cry once as you share the trauma of your childhood, even if you don’t have any. Many meetings are focused on that instead of the technical work. Field offices are treated better than corporate. Corporate is told they can’t have certain things because the field offices will take offense. Corporate is essentially a glorified secretary for the field offices. You do as they command, particularly in OSG.
