      Great place to work. Could use better management skills and recognize employees more.

      Pros

      The time off given for holidays and sick days is great. There is a lot of opportunity for growth and HR has many programs in place to assist employees to achieve higher levels of employment and more job skills.

      Cons

      There is very little employee recognition. We had to pay for our own employee recognition luncheon and our own Christmas lunch. There is no employee appreciation day or week.

      Company Profiting at Employees' Expense

      Pros

      This company pushes for success (i.e. financial growth and profit), and is therefore performing very well in the "down economy." Sets high goals.

      Cons

      I put in 50 to 60 hour weeks perhaps 75% to 80% of the time, year-round. This is common-place and is expected for Project Development Engineers in Building Efficiency. This company sets extremely high goals for increased sales, shortens the time-frame for development of each project (from 10 weeks, to 8 weeks, to 5 weeks in some cases). Shorter development time-lines mean that we can deliver more projects to customers over the course of a year, which allows us to book more jobs, and increase sales and profit. However, all things being equal, compressed timelines also mean frantic employees, as we try to complete the same amount of work in half the time that we used to. This company has not figured out how to quench it's thirst for the flood of projects that have been spurred by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds, while preserving the sanity of it's employees.

      Challenging but Rewarding

      Pros

      The benefits are top notch. My location offered a very good Work/Life Balance. Challenging environment with an expectation to grow professionally.

      Cons

      My only downsides have to do with middle management. Lack of communication, recognition of good work, and even respect. I believe this is mainly at the location that I worked.
