Steer clear of this place, unless you're straight out of college and just want to put in your two years after which you can jump to a more reputable company. After working in different companies I still don't understand how they can get away with the environmental work they perform. Must be good friends with IEPA. Half of the project managers, won't name them, will withhold work for themselves and leave you walking around the office looking for work. Ludicrous practice. I've also run into instances were per diem was withheld so the PM could pocket the surplus for a end of the year bonus. Speaking of, no bonuses, ever. I could go on but this should be enough to discourage any interest in this sinking ship.
Do not trust the five star review that's listed it's completely false and must have been filled out by upper management.
