      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Midsize firm with access to large projects - Integration of multiple services (environmental, geotech and materials) - Annual technical seminar promotes information sharing and employee development - Nationwide resources available for projects - Multiple federal contracting vehicles - Good use of on-line performance review resources - On-line career development resources - Good benefits for size of company

      Cons

      - Poor employee morale due to multiple layoffs over the past 5 years - Complete overhaul of organization every 2-3 years - Upper management is primarily "good old boy" network - Struggling to transition from offices everywhere to regional centers - Senior management lack of connection to staff except for financial metrics - Lack of senior-level commitment to safety (all talk, no action) - Poor overall safety record results in missed business opportunities - Utilization requirement is high but lack of viable plan for additional business opportunities creates high tension among employees. - Firm is showing lack of operations management skills with panic-based layoffs and lack of realistic planning during low point of economy. - Construction Testing Services suffering due to incompatibility with union (PLA) wage agreements ( time to sell off this unit) - Antiquated time/accounting system - 2015 Plan requires acquisition of other firms, which necessitates internal layoffs due to debt loading. - Separation of delivery versus marketing sounds good but only when backlog can support the isolation of the two groups.
