      One of the worst companies I have ever worked for.

      Pros

      Little travel depending on department.

      Cons

      This company is rife with nepotism and mismanagement. When I arrived on my first day the staff forgot that they had hired me, and I spent the first week completing onboarding that should have been done days prior. Two types of people work at UES, those who have been there for 20 years, and those who have been there for less than 5. Management does not mind constant turnover, for they are mostly not involved in day to day operations. Some of the department managers are terrific, others are only at UES because they would otherwise be unemployable elsewhere. Do not expect annual raises commiserate with inflation, enjoy a 1.2% 401k match, and working with inept managers. The only reason to work at UES is to gain industry skills and transfer to a better organization.

      Pros

      There really isn't any, I guess it's laid back?

      Cons

      I could write an essay, but for short. No one takes responsibility when something goes wrong. Raises are a living hell to get (had to threaten to leave just to get one) whole office is drama and snakes, the engineer sleeps all day. In the year+ I've worked there I maybe talked to the lead engineer 3 times. Hard work is unappreciated, and lazy work is ignored by management. The lab is a joke, the field techs can hardly enter their stuff in the computer. Nothing has been done about these issues for as long as I've been there, and it makes me question how proctors are entered in the computer already when they're still sitting outside. Corrupt, lazy, slow. Please don't go near this branch for the sake of your sanity. We've had 3 field techs leave in the pass month if that tells you anything.

      Pros

      Got to do everyone's job and learn industry

      Cons

      The benefits are expensive. Management doesn't know how to lead people. Higher ups are toxic.
