Pros

Towill works on great projects for great clients. Surveying and mapping is the focus of the company, all the bosses do what I do. Since Towill focuses on agency work, utilities, infrastructure, etc. we were not hit terribly hard when the economy tanked in 2008. While many of my surveyor friends were looking for jobs, I had steady work.

Cons

The reason I posted here was because of the two negative reviews. Two words: Sour Grapes. It's one thing to say what you feel, but there were some exaggerations and straight-out lies (obesity? alcoholism?? really???) Things can't be as bad as the two reviews imply - there is very very little turnover (I can only think of one person who left to work for another company - 4 years ago).

Pros

They have gotten some interesting projects in the past. The San Francisco office is staffed and managed by very intelligent people.

Cons

The corporate office is plagued by alcoholism, nepotism, and obesity, and incredible incompetence. The vice-president got his job by marrying the Presidents daughter. The managers sons are the last ones laid off, regardless of seniority. They are currently only hiring people that come with a Rolodex. They've bought back all outstanding stock (it used to be an employee owned company), and concentrated it in the hands of the vice-presidents; so that none of the employees have a stake (or buy in) to the company anymore. Morale sucks.
