Pros

Co-workers that work here are good.

Cons

- boss is very smelly, very unprofessional, and always late to meetings - boss mistreats employees, also lots of favoritism - boss has bipolar disorder - very independent working environment - underpaid - human resource department is non-existent - overtime is normal, always working late without appreciation - the quality of the projects are very poor, they are never checked by the engineer of the record - they are more focused on bringing in work than completing projects - they rush projects to meet deadlines and they always return with complaints - lots of conflicts with architects and structural departments - most project plans are not build-able, it is surprising that others trust this company in the first place

Pros

1. Wide variety of projects to work on. I was involved in the design and drafting of retaining walls, multi story buildings, MEP equipment anchorage, and smaller structures such as trash enclosures. 2. The two main structural project managers are very helpful in providing guidance on projects. 3. Based on the project's complexity, there are opportunities to do various aspects of the design process. I got hands on experience with running calcs, drafting plans, doing design coordination directly with the Arch/Owner, completing revisions to plan sets due to RFIs or Plan Check comments, job-site visits, and 3rd party submittal reviews.

Cons

1. There is no set training period. You do the basic on boarding paper work and some initial set up for the software that is used (AutoCAD, ENERCALC, RISA, Bluebeam, Energy Pro for T24) but then it is heavily reliant on individuals to ask questions and check-in with the PMs during projects to ensure they are understanding and implementing calculations properly.
