Pros

Better than average pay for our area. The ability to help you stay single, or rid you of that pesky wife. Getting constantly browbeaten by superiors will make you a tougher person and more capable of handling the worst life can throw at you. This company also excels at not letting your ego get too large and keeping you grounded by reminding you how worthless and easily replaceable you are.

Cons

Do NOT trust the positive reviews on this site! Corporate emailed the entire company and encouraged us to go on this site and write positive reviews to improve our score. The recent bad review of a lab on 2/22 and a positive review of the same lab on 2/25 is a prime example of this. This is the culture Montrose truly promotes. Pay scales vary drastically from region to region even when taking in to account factors such as cost of living. Lost time accidents are manipulated to win awards for hours worked without a lost time injury. Offices are treated as their own entity and left to be lorded over by the district managers who are purely revenue driven and talk/treat their employees in the worst tones. Paychecks and expenses reimbursements are consistently incorrect or slow and always blamed on the employee which leads to one having to wait longer for monies due to them. In the most recent negative post that Montrose replied to, they instructed that employee to speak to upper management to help resolve issues. This cannot happen and is not tolerated. Human Resources is not confidential in this corporation. I have witnessed HR calling a manager and telling him a complaint was filed against him and who filed it. There is a lot more that can be said, but I think this will suffice for now.

Pros

Company is highly adaptable. Maintains agility even though the company large. Upper management supports and encourages employee involvement.

Cons

Being a publicly traded company hinders some type of growth due to burdensome overhead.

Pros

Prior to our company's acquisition with MEG/Onterris, the company had a strong culture, supportive leadership, and employees who genuinely cared about one another and the success of the business.

Cons

If your company has been acquired, pay close attention to employee reviews and take them seriously. I did, and many of the concerns raised turned out to be accurate. Employees were repeatedly assured that the acquisition would create new opportunities and that jobs were secure. In my experience, that was not the reality. Long-tenured employees were gradually pushed out while similar positions were later reposted with modified titles or responsibilities. The former ownership ultimately lost control of decisions despite assurances that little would change. Employees with years of institutional knowledge spent years implementing new procedures, documenting procedures, learning the new system, and navigating disorganized Workday implementations with minimal support. Much of the guidance consisted of being directed to read instructions on the intranet. If you are in a finance position they will let you go! They will tell you they want it all centralized in Arkansas but that's not true, there are plenty of people working remote but you will be pushed out no matter how long you've been with your company. This not only affected me but our entire team was wiped out. They didn't give us a heads up in advance to look for anything for 2 years we were told everyone was safe and I believed them. Keep an eye out for the constant restructuring of upper management as well.
