Pros
Fairly relaxed atmosphere; informal, casual office environment; heavy focus on stormwater with some dabbling in land planning and stormwater.
Cons
Hiring practices absolutely reek of nepotism. More than half the company is comprised of a relative, friend, college buddy, or neighbor of the owners. The result? Probably the whitest company I've ever worked for. Until very recently, almost zero diversity.
Owners have serious trust issues and perhaps this explains the nepotism. Employees get zero trust, are perpetually suspected of wrongdoing, and get little investment in training or other forms of career development. The company sorely needs a layer of middle management, but again, the owners don't trust anyone to do it. They end up doing everything themselves, which is impossible. As a result, management is stretched so thin, the company fails to meet deadlines and administrative tasks fall to the wayside.
Zero investment in professional development. Don't let them tell you they pay for professional development in your interview. It's a lie. They will pay for the bare minimum to get your QSP or QSD since this is a stormwater company, but your annual Professional Development Hours required to maintain your certification will consist of whatever free online courses they can find -- including listening to a webcast of the CASQA conference read their meeting minutes. This drivel is considered professional development here.
Again, it boils down to trust. The owners expect their employees to take advantage of them. They expect that employees will get their training paid for and then immediately bail for another company. Their solution? Don't train.
This company is a poison pill for any career path that requires consistent and regular professional development.
