Pros

The Consultant Level (CL) 1 and 2's that you work with throughout your local office are the best aspect of ERM.

Cons

ERM does not compensate or provide their junior level staff (CL1/ CL2) with an opportunity to grow and advance within the company. As a CL1 or CL2, plan to spend ~90% of your time in the field, especially within the Contaminated Site Management group, performing tasks that require little to zero applicable use of your college degree. As a CL1/CL2 you will be assigned remedial field tasks and seldomly challenged to advance your understanding of technical geologic/ environmental principles. If you do choose to work at ERM, add an additional $7,000 to your asking salary to balance your future over-time workload.

Pros

Cool projects. Diversity of work

Cons

Basically every 15 minutes need to be billed to a client. If not you will be penalized even if they say you’re doing great.
