Great - Project Assistant Barr Engineering Employee Review

Positive environment Wide range of projects to work on

Can not think of any

Highly flexible schedule Ability to select projects to work on Guaranteed bonus

Lots of after-hours work Administrative disconnect with field staff responsibilities that can lead to frequent miscommunications No direct manager to distribute work during slow seasons Weekly overnight travel for full-time field staff Arbitrary pay scale in relation to job level (engineers performing the same work will automatically get a higher pay scale) Safety management has an abrasive approach to reporting often placing strain between project manager and field staff relations Work schedule can be extremely unpredictable and dependent upon individual clients A client first mentality sometimes means that interpersonal communication with internal staff gets neglected leading to unexpected project requirements for staff under project managers
