Pros

They just aquired Ch2mhill, hoping they make changes for the better.

Cons

The pay scale is not up to the average wage for Water Operators. Normally a person who acquires a higher license is suppose to receive a dollar raise. Not in The Villages. You are lucky is you get .40 cents. There is no incentive to continue to get a higher license. Managers do not lead by example. They are the "Do as I say and not as I do" type. Not hands on, more delegation and sit behind the desk.

Pros

Decent culture, individual contributors are fine, management is lacking

Cons

The company operates like many smaller companies depending on which business market you are in so your experience will vary. For some, it's the best company, others will say it's the worst; it just depends on your region/group even at the local level. Water/wastewater is a good market in most offices, transportation is hit an miss depending on location.
