Pros

Opportunity to grow and advance in your career, recent trends to push educational and skilled training investments for employees, health insurance/401K, employee stock ownership, employee recognition program (for interns too), and a friendly laid back environment. I have read most of the reviews for Olsson and most if not all stem back to the relationship with management. I happen to have a great manager whom I can trust so my experience has been nothing but positive but that doesn't mean I haven't had my fair share of personal and professional challenges. They do have the tendency to "throw you to the sharks" but in a world full of hand holding and relying on someone else to get your job done I believe this makes people better professionals and stronger individuals.

Cons

Low technician pay, payroll micro managing timesheets, growing pains (forgetting about the individual), and prior to 2016 but is no longer applicable: Employee recognition and lack of direction and proper training.
