Pros

Fun projects to work on. Lots of push to make yourself better.

Cons

Long story short is that if you don’t go way out of your way for licenses and certifications, you become less marketable and they will lay you off. I didn’t pass my PE exam, they used that against me by first giving me essentially no salary increase at the end of the year then laid me off the next year. I didn’t even have the chance to retake the exam because it was cancelled due to covid. You need to suck up in order to move up

Pros

Culture, schedule flexibility, depending on management, remote work, and employee owned, okay benefits

Cons

Parking sucks. The office is in downtown so you have pay just about any where you park. Work is repetitive or stagnant sometimes.

Fantastic teamwork. The Coastal Group is very close and highly collaborative. There is a lot of support from upper management in the Coastal Group. Lots of projects lined up.

PTO and Sick Leave are tied together.
