      Pros

      Entry level opportunities (grab the experience and then move on to a smaller firm) Decent pay for an entry level employee Decent benefits for an entry level employee

      Cons

      Too large (not concerned about employee welfare); Tend to lay off long-term experienced mid-level employees and replace them with entry level employees; No growth opportunities; Strong favoritism; Poor management (use the Peter Principle instead of qualified employees with the correct credentials); Poor communication between offices; Strict 8am-5pm working hour policy; Corporate red-tape atmosphere; Poor organizational structure

      Overall great place to work, but individual offices vary

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Job duties were variable, making employees very diverse and never bored. -Minimal supervision -Good pay and benefits -Many opportunities to pick up hours when needed -Approval of vacation/sick time was never a problem -I worked in three offices. Two of the three had fantastic coworkers and top-notch management who showed support and recognized a job well done. -Very concerned with employee safety.

      Cons

      -Schedule was slightly unpredictable and unbalanced (3 hours one day, 15 the next, or 14 hours for 6 days in a row then 4 or 5 for the next week, etc.). -Big promises for career advancement with little follow through. -Individual offices varied GREATLY with management style. As I said, I worked for three offices. One of the three was so horrible that I tried to transfer back to a previous office, even knowing that I would most likely get laid off (I conveniently got "downsized" as a result). Management was incompetent - lousy sense of organization and lacked basic communication skills. Subordinates were often blamed for the office manager's mistakes. -Workplace issues often took a very long time to resolve. They had a long ladder to climb to get to the corporate office to someone who could analyze and fix a problem.

      Pros

      Benefit Package. Fellow employee's were great to work with. HR department was easy to deal with.

      Cons

      Terracon laid off long term employee's while keeping employee's that had only been there a short time.
