Pros

Worked part-time at Terracon Charlotte while completing my engineering degree. Flexible hours. Good teaching and mentoring from other employees, supervisors, and project managers. Good safety culture. Tight knit office.

Cons

Pay for part-time employees is less than most firms hiring engineering students as interns. For full-time, there was a lot of discontent among employees with a lot of work experience but not a high level of education. For example, one excellent employee could not be promoted to project manager because he did not have a bachelor's degree. He was more than qualified for the position.

Pros

Seemed like a relatively progressive atmosphere from the outside looking in. They do a large number of Phase I jobs that are their bread and butter.

Cons

They are looking to cherry-pick talent and contracts from other companies. Happens all the time but with no real apparent vision to go along with the ambition. Additionally, they have a small-scale mindset that prohibits larger-scale contract acquisition at least on the environmental/compliance side of things. Rather sketchy interview process that lacks professionalism. (Three interviews later). They never bother to call back or send a letter informing you of the decision making process.
