-Bar none the best work/life balance I have ever had. No office requirement/fully remote options, even for field staff

-hardly any room for growth and also no distinction of job duties between mid/upper level staff. It makes it hard to assess how you can even work towards getting promoted. -management is clueless. Remote options might be good for your own personal well being but it also means your immediate team coworkers are spread across states so you’re getting lost in the shuffle of your supervisor trying to corral too many groups of people. -Collaboration is challenging, non existent, or confusing. Regions are completely separate with no opportunity for shifting or learning new things. Often left on your own to figure things out -worst health insurance I have ever had -terrible organization of drives and files. unclear SOPs for anything. Takes you a million years to locate anything because it can be saved across 3 different platforms. -too many and redundant platforms regarding time tracking, expenses, fleet, safety, project management, etc. nothing is standardized -lots of regional travel if part of a field crew. Will send you four hours away to work two hours in the field and then drive four hours home -large group of “boys club” senior staff that won’t retire but also won’t train lower and mid level staff. -core business (mitigation) taking a hit with this administration and regulatory role backs forcing them to look into other markets to stay a float when they don’t really have any footing or enough experience. Bleak business outlook
