Pros

The only real pro I could come up with is the company does offer reimbursement for folks interested in furthering their education.

Cons

Employees are treated like numbers verses people. Everyone works in silos, with their own agendas in mind. As you are working, you are in a constant mode of CYA. There is not enough effort to keep real talent onboard. Annual raises and bonuses are a joke, my boss actually told me he was embarassed by the amount I received one year.

Pros

Since the company is big, it's a great opportunity for networking, learning new skills, and earning certificates after completing hazard safety training that you can use in the future as well (especially if you're working with Unity Lab Services). Coworkers are usually nice and will always lend a hand if you need it. If you're lucky, you might be placed at a one-person site where the site supervisor is chill and understanding, lets you work at your own pace, and helps you learn new things by giving you "side quests."

Cons

No real career growth. The workload can be hard to keep up with at times, and the company strictly enforces an 8-hour workday with no overtime, even when needed. Day-to-day operations feel heavily micromanaged by upper management through strict policies. HR introduces new policies almost monthly, often adding tasks that feel unnecessary. They frame this as becoming "more data-driven," but in practice, it hasn't led to much noticeable improvement.
