Pros

Flexible hours. As an estimator, I can plan my own day and start early, finish early, or start latrer and finish later. As long as you complete an 8hr. day and give the company this, then all is well.

Cons

Not getting recognition for a jobwell done and feeling blindsided when you screw up, as everyone will do at some point in time. I was also dissatisfied with their "pay for performance" change in the late 90's. I feel that all this was is a change to save to company more money, at the sacrifice of their employees. ie no more cost of living, total raise per year is split as a percentage. Example a 7% raise would be 3.5% merit, 3.5% cash bonus.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
