Pros

Great people, everyone is very friendly and helpful starting my first day. Lots of exciting projects going on around the US and Canada. A large number of employees that have been here for 15+ years, good work/life balance, great benefits.

Cons

Communication is very minimal between Districts, unless you go on the internal website everyday you will never hear much about what is happening in other districts. Communication is sent out whenever a new project is won or someone receives an accolade.
