Good leadership and coworkers - Recensione dipendente - Technician presso Cornerstone Environmental

I started working for Cornerstone fresh out of college, with very little industry experience. Beginning my career at this office exposed me to a wide variety of projects/clients across several states. My direct supervisor was a fantastic mentor and provided a lot of support when I was still learning. I was given the opportunity to take on appropriate amounts of responsibility as I gained experience, and the senior management were always receptive to incorporating my ideas/feedback into our work. Overall, the staff at this office are very welcoming and collaborate well.

Not all good engineers make good project managers/supervisors. I know the company is on-track to improve this issue, so identifying which trajectory an employee should follow early on in their career at the company is important.

Smaller office means no one goes unnoticed. It is fairly easy to get involved in projects and there is always something going on that you can assist with. Management has a very great open door policy and are always willing to assist with questions and help solve problems. They want you to do well, which is very much appreciated. Work is challenging, but this is not easy work. It takes a lot of knowledge and experience to work well in an ever changing industry. Management knows this and does their best to help staff acclimate to changes. It is expected to stay up to date on regulations, rules, etc. Work-life balance is good. Around 40 hours a week. Sometimes less, sometimes more depending on workload. Office will have dinners/drinks on occasion. Everyone in the office is decently friendly with one another. Lots of room to grow professionally. Company will hold training sessions, encourage staff to participate in new opportunities that are upcoming, send information for available presentations/seminars. Having worked in this industry for a different company before, most companies will keep entry level staff behind their computers. Cornerstone does not. Staff are invited to most meetings, are spoken to directly in a respectful and professional manner, and are taught how to be a consultant. Office culture is great. Everyone is friendly and will chat with you. Helps to facilitate a friendly atmosphere.

No cons, personally. Great company to work for. Cost of living in area is high, but this is no fault of the company's.
