Pros

None to share. If there was any way to give 0 stars I would.

Cons

1) Paid entry-level salary for mid-level work that requires years of experience. Wasn't given the proper title reflecting the work I was doing so as to keep me on an entry-level salary. 2) Even if you work 40+ hours a week, payroll specialist will say you must record 40 each week. Worked normally 50-60 hours each week. If you record more than 40 hours a week, your PTO hours would decrease. So as to not jeopardize PTO, I was putting in 10-20 hours a week of free labor. 3) Sometimes I had 2 minutes to eat lunch instead of an hour lunch as stated in the employee handbook. There were times I asked manager if I could have my lunch and was told no (sometimes I would be having lunch 2, 3, or 4pm and still not even for an hour, had to get back to work). 4) CEO is not the person portrayed in videos or articles. Had to arrive to the office earlier than most of the employees specifically because CEO told me to work on her material when she wasn't in the office so she wouldn't be "bothered". One time she was on her phone (scrolling, not on a phone call) and without looking at me shoo-ed (not the polite kind) me away so I could leave. 5) Was cussed at by management. This is the most unprofessional work environment I have ever been in. Past employees in the team left for similar reasons. I've had better support, mentorship, and workplace environment when I was working fast food in the past. 6) If you work on a team that works directly with CEO, family is NOT number one. You will be working long hours all the time, not "sometimes". Had to cancel doctor appointments to put in more hours to meet deadlines. This job affected my health so badly but couldn't go to the doctor, manager even questioned if the appointments I had scheduled were doctor appointments and if they really needed to be that long, that's when I knew this wasn't the workplace and company advertised online and decided to cancel my appointments because I would've been told to cancel them anyway.

Pros

Joining the team felt like joining a company with a purpose. It’s great to work somewhere that puts impact and purpose first. Management supports career development with solid training resources, and I’ve always felt challenged positively. Knowing my work contributes to something meaningful keeps me motivated. This is a great place for anyone looking to advance in their field.

Cons

Some projects come with tight deadlines, which can be stressful at times.

Pros

Here, no two days are the same. I’ve had the opportunity to work on everything from environmental impact studies to industrial hygiene assessments. There’s a solid focus on safety, and they provide everything you need to succeed.

Cons

Not all roles offer remote flexibility.
