Pros

As with most firms there are good a bad, I was growing the group in the office (and still giving away work to other offices) and the President then developed Change is Good (GIG). It was the "pro" it is was allowed my group to grow from me to 5 and was at a point to grow to 8 to 12.

Cons

The con was we could not hire until we had the work but that hampered the growth, then in spite of working thru overwhelming bullies and impediments to progress and having the good profits for the year, was told we did not have enough work.

Pros

They were flexible with my work schedule, which allowed me to better care for my children.

Cons

There is no team or camaraderie. Everyone just comes in, does their work, and leaves. There is no effort made to get to know anyone on a personal level. The focus was always on procedures instead of people. Too much attention is given to menial details instead of big picture goals. In my entire time here, I don't believe my VP ever said two words to me. And my direct manager only spoke to me when it was about a specific project (or to point out something that was done incorrectly). There was no positive feedback or encouragement. The decision to leave was an easy one.

Pros

Good starting pay. Good starting commute. Good starting relationships.

Cons

After 7 years of long, hot days, 250,000 miles driven, living in hotels, training all the other inspectors, doing $250k of company spending, and managing an entire CEI workforce... They hired another manager externally, stripped me of my authority and position, and relegated me back to a lower position, than when i started. 7 years of 'Excellent' reviews, and promises of a future management position, were thrown in the trash. There are good people, all over this firm. Just stay away from SC.
