Pros
Flexible work schedule - if you have a doctors appointment you can just make the hours up during the week. You can work longer days throughout the week to have half days off on Fridays. Floating holidays - you can move a holiday to any other day within that month Opportunity to connect with a lot of coworkers in the same field as you
Cons
This company truly doesn't care about their workers (at least the GIS technicians) and just used us as robots. The pay was very low for the amount of work and stress that came along with it, there was never a moment of downtime unless the server was down and you may or may not get paid for your time then. The micromanaging was intense, we were told projects had to be done within a certain amount of billable hours which was never nearly enough and had to let supervisors know if we thought we were going to be over that. So not only are you rushed to finish your project, but you are also graded on them. Therefore you are providing work that is not up to your own standards given the time, but the grading is what they score you on in your yearly review (if you make it that far). They hired us all on to meet their deadlines, and then fired over 100 people (full time and contracted employees) once their deadlines were made. We were working overtime the majority of the summer to only be told the Tuesday morning after Labor Day weekend that we were unemployed at the end of the meeting. The meeting showed no emotion, strictly only informational based and then immediately after the meeting our emails and teams were shut down, they didn't even have the decency to stay for questions at the end or allow us to say goodbye to our supervisors for future references. This company, and at this point NV5, have no care for their workers. They will work them to the ground till they are no longer needed for their gain. I hope this is the worst job I ever have because I can't see it getting worse than this (I have worked in many different sectors of the environmental/geography fields and even food service and this has been the worst so far).
