Pros

The people are nice. If you are family-oriented, schedules are flexible. I think that 23 days off, including 7 already determined holidays, is all right, but I had better with an internship elsewhere. 50% retirement matching up to 6%. I know several employees who end up working under contractor through Tetra Tech and work part-time because of family.

Cons

The work is fairly boring and repetitive. I thought my first job out of school would be more interesting, and I don't really see where you would advance other than slowly getting raises while doing the same work monthly and yearly - but this is compliance work. I felt like I was lied to during the in-person interview about the actual responsibilities. Get here, and was disappointed. No sick days. No one seems to care about my professional development. No trainings like I had expected. I want to get the 40 hour HAZWOPPER, but you only get training as soon as you need it. Seems like it would be a crunch (or I just would be looked over) if I was needed elsewhere in an actual engineering project within the company.

Pros

Pay, remote work, flexible, variety of projects

Cons

Management is bit disorganized and always scrambling. Benefits are not the greatest. PTO is looped in with holidays. Not enough resources for every job so burnout is high
