Pros

There are a few choice managers and employees who are truly great to work with. They will go to bat for you, work hard to get a project done under tight deadlines, and generally support the other employees

Cons

Oh man...where do I start. Holtec has extremely high turnover which means that the company is constantly being inundated with young project managers (fresh out of college) with no experience running large multi million dollars jobs in one of the toughest environments. The office is extremely clicky...it's almost like a middle school lunchroom and the frustrating part is that to advance though the company you have to make it through the "mean girls" $300+million a year company that they do not issue company credit cards. All travel related expenses must be held on a personal card then submitted via an expense report. Repayment can take several weeks. Multiple vendors complain about not having invoices paid in time which makes maintaining working relationships difficult Very low year end bonus despite business being at an all time high. Typical year end bonus is $2000 - $4000 with raising averaging 2-3%. Typical unpaid overtime worked per year can range from 300 - 700 hours.

Pros

Lots of ability to learn and take on tasks outside of your primary role (but beware of the hours). Gained good experience. Flexible work at home policy if needed.

Cons

This was my first job out of college as an engineer, so I did not realize how terrible the environment was. There is no respect for employees. Compensation was very low compared with the industry and bonus was a joke. After putting in hundreds of hours of overtime in a given year don't expect to see anything for the extra work. Management is technically competent, but has no management skills. You are lucky if your manager even knows what you are working on. Continual yelling fights occur and can often be overheard. Very uncomfortable for people in surrounding offices. Employees get fired or forced out often because they were blamed for something (without warning). Productivity is rated #1 which is a poor choice for the nuclear industry.

Pros

Fast hiring process, growing business, daytime hours, fair pay

Cons

Managers are absolutely terrible. Upper management is even worse! They all gossip about the employees to each other and even to the customer. Lots of experience elsewhere but none on how to manage.
