Pros

Most of the people there are nice and easy to get along with. The offices are nice.

Cons

Management doesn't care for its employees. Was a hard worker took on a lot of responsibilities and got nothing for it. Was doing work of three people and got raises that didn't even keep up with inflation. People never hesitate to throw you under the bus if it's you or them. They spend money wrecklessly and pretty much with no thought. Hire PMs for absurd amounts of money and then find out they don't end up actually doing anything and get fired. Environment is that of fear and try to scare you into doing things. No benefits whatsoever. They have a joke of a monthly award that the worst people who suck up win and that's it not actually hard workers win.

Pros

You get paid, you get benefits, you get ....well that's about it, nothing else really comes to mind.

Cons

When I first joined Chester I was ecstatic, my first "grown-up" job. But then came to realize how much the company didn't care about its employees like other companies such as: AECOM, CH2M, or ARCADIS; cared about theirs. You can go through the motions and mention to your supervisor things you do not appreciate or simple complaints you have and they'll say "I can assure you we are working as hard as we can to fix the problem." In all, your submitted complaint to them will end up nowhere else but at the bottom of a cemetery with someone else's hopes and dreams.

Pros

Not many. The best thing about Chester is the physical office space. Nice cafeteria and nice fitness center.

Cons

Egotistic and narcissistic CEO. The worst management team I've ever experienced. The culture is one of fear, intimidation, micromanagement, and disfunction. The entire senior leadership team is afraid of the Bob Agbede because he is an irrational child. Bunch of "yes men" if you can consider them men. Everyone including you own manager and co-workers will through you under the bus and talk behind your back. No females in a leadership position. Closed minded group. You get the picture.
