Pros

Large company with a very good reputation. Worked on some high profile jobs and many of the people were great to work with.

Cons

Work / life balance is out the window. Start off with low wage and their excuse is employees can take advantage of the share program. Share program is good, but they seem to forget the employee has to buy the shares to begin with so doesnt become beneficial for a few years, meanwhile you are in major debt. Claim to want to best, most experienced people but quickly lay-off the long term employees when things slow down to keep the lower wage new employees. District manager ran the office like his own little boys club....if you weren't a part of his club then you were treated like crap.
