Politics and lots of pointless overtime

Pros

Salary and bonus is decent. They order lunch and dinner for staff during quarter closes. Good place for quick experience, then move on.

Cons

Expected overtime even if no work is needed. Lots of politics. Not family oriented. Turn over is high in certain departments (about a year or two). You need thick skin to work here due to tempers of senior management.

Pros

Quanta Services does provide free lunches during quarterly close. They also have 10-20% bonuses for most roles or positions.

Cons

Quanta Services will work employees on holidays, weekends, and late into the evenings. Parking spots in the Williams Tower Parking Garage are difficult to find since maximum capacity has been reached (except for the reserved parking spots). If you are working a late shift, you will have to park in the Galleria Mall Parking Garage (if you can find a spot there). There is no flexibility to work remotely/virtually or flex schedules. PTO does not carry over to the next year. If you do not use it, you lose it. They move employees up from two weeks of vacation to three weeks of vacation after 10 years of service. The waiting period for the 401k is one year. There are not any structured career paths or any opportunity for advancement.

Pros

The company itself has strong prospects and there are some solid people working in the office.

Cons

Constant switching of goals, often requiring complete scrapping of work already completed. Very little effort to plan ahead or even manage the workload. Management fond of telling executives "Yes!" without considering feasibility, leading to absolute chaos at the staff level. You will work weekends and evenings repeatedly, even outside of the core times they tell you to expect it. And most of the that extra time is wasted, chasing the latest priority while you allow your core responsibilities to languish and degrade. An utter mess.
