Pros

- Good team of passionate ecologists who are committed to what they do - Some of the most interesting ecological consulting projects an ecologist could be involved in in NZ - Good place for early career to get experience before moving elsewhere - Numerous opportunities for promotion due to high turnover.

Cons

- High staff turnover leaves the company constantly scrambling to hire new employees - Work loads are unrealistic. Junior ecologists can expect to work 50 hour weeks. Senior staff regularly work 60+ hour weeks/weekends - The compensation isn't commensurate to the workloads. DOC and the regional councils pay more for far less work. - Training is non existent. Mentorship is minimal due to senior staff being constantly overwhelmed. - Systems are outdated and project controls are virtually nonexistent. Project timelines and budget overruns are very common.
