Pros

Good salary. After two years you earn three weeks' vacation rather than the standard two.

Cons

Don't get sick because sick leave accrues at a snail's pace. Principals place emphasis on being a Christian company with values and morals, but at the end of the day, they're just a poorly-run business where the almighty dollar is king. That's fine, but just own it and stop being hypocritical. Also, during slow times peoples' jobs are cut while the upper crust still lives high on the hog, spending money and living it up like they're Wall Street execs from the 80's. Revolting. Nepotism runs rampant as well, so if you're related to someone, good for you - job security and freedom to do as you please. This is not a company that's open to change, practicality, or stepping into the 21st century, but if you're a 'Yes' man, (and I emphasize the 'man' aspect), this just might be the place for you.

Pros

Many pros, EDG started as an oil and gas firm exclusively but has made great progress into other industries such as automation, industrial, and utilities in the last few years; what this means is workflow is becoming even more steady regardless of what the oil and gas industry is doing. EDG is also an employee owned company so there is a notable emphasis on employee comfort and longevity at the company. Philip Mynt, the current CEO, is a great leader that has some initiatives to grow the current pros and address some of the cons below. The last pro I'll mention is honesty; when times were hard in 2020, like they were for all O&G firms, corporate leadership was had the courage to tell us the real state of things; cut backs had to be made, but to my knowledge, no full-time employees were laid off.

Cons

EDG is a relatively small company within the industry having somewhere between 500-1000, and the compensation levels I think are reflected by this. Technology within the company is a little behind but this one of the initiatives Philip is working to address and I would see this as a short term con in mid 2024.

Pros

Most of the time there is a nice amount of over time.

Cons

Get treated like your child. You cares to hear your opinion.
