Pros

I enjoyed working at AWP for a good couple of months until management started to reveal their true identity. It was then that I realized that I should begin looking for another job. Despite this, I truly wish I would have stayed longer.

Cons

Management mixing business with pleasure. There is a line between these two and management did not seem to care when they mixed the two. I personally saw this happen with employees in the company and with other vendors. It was not professional when the department initiating was my immediate supervising department. It was weird to work there.

Pros

The current Estimating department set up responds directly to the president - he didn't care about how I got the job done provided it was done before the deadline. He has a bonus structure set up for on-time submissions through out the year - small bonuses, but nice motivator. If you had excellent percentages you can qualify for the additional vacation bonus - I got the 4 days paid round trip/resort to Colorado. Basically, if you know what you are doing, this is a good job for you - he tells you the end result that he wants, the deadline, and expects you to get it done one way or another - not a lot of hand holding, so if you need a lot of training, this wouldn't be the place for you. Got me an assistant after about a year.

Cons

Far away location from Houston (45 minutes) - wound up being the reason I left. Must know labor hours by heart or have a pre-existing spreadsheet/book to be able to calculate it. Wasn't a problem for me, but I can see where it may be for others. Must come into the office 5 days a week. Client deadlines can be tight sometimes, there were a few days where I needed to stay until 6-630PM to meet them. They have trouble hiring competent Jr Estimators. In the time I was there, we cycled through 3 different Jr Estimators before finally getting a good fit. The only plus side of it was that the Jr's work with PM Dept too - the PMs have a low tolerance for incompetency & are not keen on retraining - if the Jr Estimator isn't efficient, the PM will push them out the door fairly quickly.
