Pros

- Yourline manager will determine your success and or you look on the organization . -they must fully support you or they are strict and micromanaging - if your manager is flexible then you have a flexible schedule /hybrid -once your hired it’s very hard for you to get Fired -you can literally come in and do the bare minimum and no one will notice

Cons

-There is little to no support management from upper and higher management . Just prefer you stick to goals designated by UK group that has no idea the short falls of a U.S. based organization ( or maybe they care less) -very minimal work life balance , say good bye to vacations that you earn but rarely get to use . -bonus structure for management that is not attainable and no explanation given on why this was not achieved . -has company controls that are ignored , and higher management doesn’t want to be involved with the lower level individuals. -lower level employees work tirelessly. -business process have not adapted to an technological advances -if you have drive , ideas DO NOT COME TO WORK HERE THOSE DREAMS WILL BE KILLED AT EVERY TURN -No training , or details on who to go to for what -no synergy across any departments

Pros

Good group of people in local office.

Cons

Stuck in the past. Unwilling to consider updating methods or procedures. "We've done it this way for 30 years and it has worked." Sales relies upon project engineers to do most of their work for them. When volume of work is slow that becomes the engineers responsibility to go find new clients. Can't reliably pay the most basic of utility bills on time. I've seen the power cut off 2x and the gas this past winter.
