Not a great place to work

Water resource specialist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

They offer a good salary.

Cons

Management support is not the best. They are not so forthcoming about what is expected on the job. You end up driving Lon hours to the field and spending 10-12 hours per day in the field without proper safety gear. The PTO is not the best. They make you think it is unlimited PTO, meanwhile it isn’t. And they get upset when you want to take PTO days. They do not have great benefits like end of year bonus.
