Pros

They Pay well. The job is challenging and you will travel to many new places. Most people are friendly but can only do so much as they are trying to juggle too many projects.

Cons

The office environment can become hostile. There are many instances of people berating and putting down in a loud and vulgar manner. You are going to be working on six or more projects at a time. All projects will have very tight deadlines. Information from clients has to be filtered through a sales team and project manager. Emphasis is often put on the quantity and speed of the work with no time for quality checking. Offices are dingy and people cuss like truck drivers instead of presenting a professional office. Company owner is know to show up on site and berate employees, using foul language and yelling with a red face.

Pros

They'll hire you with little experience. There are some honestly good people there but they aren't given any authority to help improve the place.

Cons

If your skin isn't as thick as an armored vehicle, this place is not for you. You might be able to skate below the radar for a while, but the second you make one mistake the owner will call you out in front of anyone within earshot and berate and belittle you while cussing you out and calling you names. He takes great pride in his fear culture and admits that he does it to show everyone who is the boss so people are scared to screw up, but all that does is make people not admit their honest mistakes. Upper management tries to hide problems from him so he doesn't go off on anyone and they don't lose more people. But on the other hand, sometimes they'll do his bidding and threaten your job even before you start a project so you are "motivated" to get it done on time.

Pros

You occasionally get cake if someone retires who was with the company 45+ years. They also cater in food for a Christmas lunch.

Cons

Where to start? -Upper management is like watching high school all over again. They gang up and bully people, don't know what actually goes on out in the shop, don't know how to run a company and are literally running it into the ground. They hide stuff from the owner and in turn the owner cusses out employees and strikes the fear of god into all employees. The pay is low, the benefits are expensive and not great. HR is a nightmare who has their hands in everything but can't stay organized enough to accomplish anything.
