Avantages
Great place to get engineering experience. Many opportunity to work on lots of different projects, different aspects of engineering, different locations. Meet and work with contractors, engineers, architects. Flexibility in work hours for some employees. Employee owned so they aren't caught up in the almighty share price. And they still make money and have been growing steadily. Good investment in equipment.
Inconvénients
Very little communication within my department as far as work load management or department goals. Minimal training - you are expected to find your way on your own. Some Administrative Assistants are rude and unhelpful. Lots of hours required during the construction season to keep up with the work load. We are losing the young engineers due mostly to low pay.
