Pros

If you can keep up a consistent high achievement / dedication standard you will treated like gold.

Usual politics of any organisation. Test yourself and see if you can rise above that. Challenging customers, otherwise a great career

Pros

Health and safety conscious (no lone working) Opportunity to work on large projects encompassing multiple disciplines. Extensive UK network of ecologists

Cons

Health and safety (varies from office to office and often manager to manager, no consistent line regardless of company policy) No real support or training in more technical aspects of work Opinions of field surveyors often ignored until it is convenient for management
