Great place for a first internship

Architectural intern

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I learned a ton about the field as this was my first internship. I got to work with a lot of different people. The internship program also allowed me to boost my portfolio which was nice.

Cons

I didn’t get to go to very many high level meetings which is what I’m interested in. I like the client and business side, but I understand that it’s hard to get that experience as an intern.

Pros

-Culture -Management -Flexibility -Benefits -Rewarded for good work ethic -Great people and friendly environment -Company truck -All tools and equipment paid for -Gas card

Cons

-Inconsistent work available for inspectors -No career advancement is available what so ever for inspectors -Only an engineering degree is valued here -Annual raises are standard, but like most companies, you must work extra hard to get a raise that barely keeps up with inflation if youre lucky -Weekend work is common as an inspector -Youre expected to work weekends unless you can find coverage yourself -Long hours (you work 100% of the time the contractor is on site) -No room for advancement with out engineering degree. Other degrees seem to be viewed as useless in the eyes of corporate.
