Up and Coming Firm - Associate Biologist Chambers Group Employee Review

Great team of qualified experts in archaeology, biology, and environmental planning. Interesting projects, fun people, and room to grow.

Benefits could be better - such as adding a 401k match and bonus program.

Flexibility for on-call staff. Good place for recent grads to gain field experience.

It appears their business structure on the bio side of things is to hire as many on-call bios for as little as possible to keep high profit margins. If hired in an on-call roll do not expect career advancement or respect. I would go as far as to say I felt bullied by HR and accounting at times and even had a full time staffer pressure me to work for free so they could stay within their billable limit. Hierarchal structure with no thought to experience, knowledge, or efforts of their hourly staff. Low pay in comparison to other local firms.
