      Pros

      The people I work with are wonderful and incredibly patient and supportive. It definitely feels like they are in my corner, and especially that I can be open with my immediate superiors about struggles that I am having and that we will work on them together. Overall, the community in the environmental health and science division seems cohesive, inclusive and supportive. Office culture at the office I frequent is very casual and feels like a close-knit community for those that regularly come into the office. They are very accommodative when it comes to the company providing snacks and beverages to have in the office for employees to consume.

      Cons

      Poor holiday policy. JS Held recognizes only the bare minimum number of federal holidays and offers 2 "floating holiday" days which basically act as 2 days of PTO that don't roll over year to year. In the interview process I was told of a bonus structure on a schedule as regular as biweekly but have not seen anything about it since regardless of consistently putting in 45–50-hour weeks. There is definitely a disconnect between some of the office leads that do live/work multiple hours away and rarely come into the office.
