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

The HR team was a standout—supportive, responsive, and genuinely invested in employees. Leadership in HR made meaningful efforts to retain employees and offered thoughtful alternatives. Exposure to a wide scope of work, including international training, provided stretch opportunities.

Cons

Workload expectations were consistently unrealistic. At one point, I was the sole person responsible for supporting training needs for approximately 4,000 employees. Responsibilities expanded significantly—such as taking on international training—without additional compensation, resources, or transition support. Leadership alignment was lacking. I often received competing priorities from multiple leaders (up to six at once), making it difficult to execute effectively or meet expectations. There was a cultural resistance to training across parts of the organization. While training was requested, there was limited engagement or support from employees, which made delivery more challenging. My manager maintained an unsustainable pace and, while stating it wasn’t expected of others, set a de facto standard that was difficult to meet. This led to ongoing pressure and burnout. I was frequently assigned to projects without proper context, preparation, or onboarding, which created unnecessary stress and, at times, put me in difficult or unprepared situations.
