Pros

-Flexible hours (sometimes long hours because of workload but good as well) -Benefits (Health, Dental, Vision) -Paid vacation and sick days -Fairly positive work environment -Good exposure to real life situations during design and construction phase -Will learn a lot with multiple departments working under one roof.

Cons

-Very little or no training in what you need to do. If you are lucky, you may have the main engineer train you else you are left with another junior engineer to show you the ropes. -Very little (if none) superiors/mentors to assist when you really need them. -Little direction on what the future may hold -Unknown job titles and what is expected from you -Unknown actual scheduling for jobs so you may randomly have to stay late to finish something

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.
