      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Opportunity to learn from experienced senior utility employees that have a lot of knowledge to impart on employees. Have some flexibility to work on what projects/areas interest you.

      Cons

      Management views staff employees just in terms of billable hours and profitability and will exploit their employees if given the opportunity. Little interest in career and professional development. Pay is significantly under market value and doesn't improve much with increased competency or experience. Business model is based on cheap labor, billable hours, and high profitability which is good for investors, but not employees.

      Pros

      Some of the aspects of on-boarding and training very good. Provide a lot of professional development opportunities if you can stick it out and in are in a good group. The remediation group seems to be very well run and a lot of respect, support, and collaboration. The AMS, BSI, and PPL are broken - do not know about the other groups. Support and focus is very geographically lopsided.

      Cons

      Some divisions in the environmental group are very broken and toxic. Company is very siloed and is difficult to try to work with other groups. Some senior managers are 100% absentee and provide zero support. No respect for work-life balance; expected to miss child's birthday or personal events on week-ends if high maintenance client calls you at the last minute. 48 hours expected and comp time Friday afternoons goes against you. Need to watch your back here.

      Terrible middle management. No team values. Everyone for himself. Backstabbing is the norm.

      Pros

      There are some great people who work for TRC. Some of the HR people are top notch. These are the only things that brought me brought me above one star. I really loved working with some of the individuals here. Unfortunately, most of the best have been flushed out or have left for various reasons. The others just keep their heads down.

      Cons

      There is very much an "us versus them" culture in the company. For example , "it's the environmental people's fault, not infrastructure," and vice versa. A lot of inter-specialty hostility. No esprit de corps whatsoever. If you are not in the "in" clique, you have no chance of being a project manager, regardless of your experience. In fighting, back biting and backstabbing are the norm and certainly not discouraged by middle management. In fact, the office environment encourages these qualities. Upper management tends to be oblivious of this as well as day to day issues. To them it is all about utilization percentages. If you fall below 70% or so, for whatever reason, then it's bye bye to you (see back biting above). As a result, people would rather be completely overworked and behind schedule, with angry clients, than ask for help from other staff. If you work here, watch your back and befriend management and you'll do fine.
