Pros

The per diem is ok at best. AVOID foundations at all cost if you want to be here more than 2 months.

Cons

-be prepared to work 7 days a week 13+ hours a day. Get tired? “Sleep when you die”- higher management. -Everything is based on favoritism. -Do not honor their core values especially “We do what we say” or “we do the right thing”. -Employee handbook says rotation every 3ish weeks but if the project is behind schedule you can forget about that. -Constantly makes up new rules to avoid accommodating field staff with transportation. -No training or experience? You will be a perfect manager. -Have any hobbies or activities outside of work? FORGET ABOUT A WORK LIFE BALANCE. -Will give you a one day notice to move to a new project. -Organization is non existent. -Enjoy watching hourly craft making what you make in 2 weeks in 1 week because of no over time for salaried employees. -Upper management is 2 faced. -Forget about time to eat lunch. (Bring dinner as well you’ll still be working at that time) -Will put production over safety any day of the week.

Pros

They do offer 56 hours of paid sick leave per year. There is also a 401K retirement savings plan available.

Cons

The work-life balance is atrocious, and the benefits do not make up for it. If you are an exempt employee, you are expected to work as much of the day as necessary to get the job done, and the company provides zero overtime or additional compensation for it. This routinely translates into 50-60 hour work weeks where you are only effectively compensated for 40. Seeing the actuals versus the budgets on these projects makes the amount of uncompensated labor glaringly obvious. The working conditions for many staff members, particularly visa-dependent employees, feel horrific. On top of the burnout, the vacation policy is basically non-existent; you max out at a mere 10 days (80 hours) of vacation for your first four years of employment.
