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.

Pros

-Stock that return 30% per year -bonuses -vacation time given off the bat is great if approved 15 days -401k matching -health insurance is a great plan and not too expensive to participate in -if you fit in work feels like hanging out with friends

Cons

-really long work hours and weekend work for salary employees is a standard for operations employees -they will move you like a piece of equipment and where they see fit at the flip of a switch (one minute your local at home the next day you could get a call to go to the armpit of America) -have to play the game to move up and be liked by many -if you don't fit in, you don't last long -they know they can control your work ethic with the golden handcuffs -you can work as the next level up, but I've seen many people stay at that spot for some time before actually getting the promotion
