Pros

There is an ESOP - employer contribution is about 3 percent match Nationwide work Not just one sector of work

Cons

If you want to leave before 5 years is up you do not get all of your ESOP There is a lot of favoritism and not really corporate structure to how people get paid. ie the guy at the desk next to you might know a lot less and do a lot less and show up for the company a lot less and you'll still get paid the same or less than him regardless of credentials or how hard you work or who you ask about it - which maybe a lot of these larger firms are that way - however that promotes you leaving the company to get better pay and potentially never circle back to Terracon at all No residential work so there is a missing sector for experience

Pros

Work/life balance Career advancement training opportunities

Cons

Toxic top-down management culture. Environmental employees are expendable. If you aren’t an engineer, good luck. Management does not care to get to know their employees and favoritism is the norm, not the exception. Unrealistic expectations from new hires. Low compensation for industry standards.
