Pros

Pleasant enough if you are not part of Carter Burgess take over.

Cons

No chance for advancement unless you become a company man or bring in a juicy client, like the US Army. To many Jacobs employees let go so the idiotic Carter Burgess buyout transition would be smooth.

Pros

Enjoyed being on the road working on projects with the client. Also enjoyed being in the office working on project and discussing with other engineers project issues.

Cons

My current title was designer / project coordinator there was no training on what you need to know about project coordinator. Issues what management - they had all there eggs in one basket we only had one major account and the contract was not renewed that's why the office closed in July 2014!!!!
