Pluspunten
Probably as good a place as any to start out in the environmental field. Pretty easy work and it's easy to work from home once in a while if you need to. Work life balance was overall good.
Minpunten
Tasks are fragmented and random for consultant level / junior staff. The managers will just assign them to a week of grueling field work with absolutely no context, just go put soil in jars for 10 hours a day and never try to explain what it's for or involve that person in the office portion of the process, so everyone at that pay grade is just miserable and disengaged and tend to leave after 1-3 years once they have some experience. As I was leaving there were about 6 other consultants also on their way out which was like half of that office's consultant level staff. There were also some pretty bad safety concerns with the field practices in every project I worked on. There also just doesn't seem to be much direction in management. I had days or even weeks on end where I had no real objective or thing to work on which was just really boring. The management just sort of accepts that they have high turnover within the more junior staff and some of them told me that they would rather not teach skills to junior staff because it takes time to do and they know they'll just leave. How about trying to address the reasons nobody wants to stick around instead?
