Pros

Atkins is a good place to start your career as they offered excellent access to personal development opportunities throughout my first few years with the company. Those who push themselves will also be given the chance to take on extra responsibility at an early stage. Generally a very pleasant and social place to work with a good consideration for work-life balance.

Cons

The size of the company sometimes inhibits the pace of internal change and although you can take on extra responsibility, you will sometimes find it challenging to translate that into promotions and increased remuneration. The business also needs to improve its internal selling processes.

Pros

Plenty of friendly coworkers; Can gain a decent amount of experience Decent benefits, especially medical, dental, and vision insurance.

Cons

Working from home can be slow and finicky due to servers being scrambled across the country which is discouraging for hybrid and fully remote workers. Not a lot of communication between employees, especially since there is not a lot of work so you would have to keep pressing coworkers for more work and direction. Work/Life Balance is hard to maintain since PTO, Sick leave and vacation are merged and I have to come in early. If given work, you can probably have enough to do in order to fill in timesheets, but there are plenty of times when you might not have enough work and you would have to grasp at straws just to make it to 8 hours of work each day. My role feels more like I'm working as a GIS Technician instead of an Analyst given the lack of clarity in the job description. There is no true technical training program. You would just have to search online for anything you don't know how to do.
