Pros

Good benefits and pricing Stepping stone positions, then move to competitor Some groups have good middle management, others not so much.

Cons

Horrible upper management Roll out decisions from a "global" level that screw the people actually having to do the work. Upper mgmt just checks boxes to get their bonuses while the worker bees do everything under heavy scrutiny with absolutely NO help. Awful on boarding and no new hire training offered. HR is non existent. Use an employee service team that's useless. No one can answer your questions. No uniform processes. Be ready do to go to work daily and get beat down if you are a goal oriented over achiever. Not the place for any good employee. They'll under appreciate your work.

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.
