Pros

co workers, client interface opportunities

Cons

lack of continuity in management, lack of execution of strategy, lack of cohesive vision, very inconsistent personnel management, complete lack of performance based incentives at a mid manager/career level, lack of operational guidelines for such simple things as bid generation and scope review, absolutely no opportunities for cross discipline or other types of training, many senior staff just looking for a good exit opportunity, many managers are so frightened for their security that they are not making decisions for sustainable success, but simply for short term survival

Pros

Plenty of friendly coworkers; Can gain a decent amount of experience Decent benefits, especially medical, dental, and vision insurance.

Cons

Working from home can be slow and finicky due to servers being scrambled across the country which is discouraging for hybrid and fully remote workers. Not a lot of communication between employees, especially since there is not a lot of work so you would have to keep pressing coworkers for more work and direction. Work/Life Balance is hard to maintain since PTO, Sick leave and vacation are merged and I have to come in early. If given work, you can probably have enough to do in order to fill in timesheets, but there are plenty of times when you might not have enough work and you would have to grasp at straws just to make it to 8 hours of work each day. My role feels more like I'm working as a GIS Technician instead of an Analyst given the lack of clarity in the job description. There is no true technical training program. You would just have to search online for anything you don't know how to do.
