Pros

A good place to gain experience. The starting salary for entry level positions was not bad compared to similar jobs in the area at the time that I applied. Benefits are so-so. The vacation time is phenomenal (120 hours starting out).

Cons

Unfortunately, new management and new ideas have brought this company to what appears to be much more of a stingy attitude toward its employees. Rather than paying them what they are worth and rewarding excellent work, the trend seems to be going more toward "how little can we pay these people without them leaving". I have noticed this more recently with newer hires. Yearly raises are very small, only hope for a good increase is by jumping positions.

Pros

Good group of people in local office.

Cons

Stuck in the past. Unwilling to consider updating methods or procedures. "We've done it this way for 30 years and it has worked." Sales relies upon project engineers to do most of their work for them. When volume of work is slow that becomes the engineers responsibility to go find new clients. Can't reliably pay the most basic of utility bills on time. I've seen the power cut off 2x and the gas this past winter.
