Pros

Outstanding Team mentality and a pretty darn good culture.

Cons

A lot of information to learn at first. This is a trial-by-fire kind of opportunity. But if you are willing to ask, people are willing to answer.

Pros

Substantial field work in the DFW area, with a variety of clients and job sites to service. The team of safety managers have tremendous collective knowledge and experience making this an ideal job for someone early in their safety career. If you are interested in construction safety, this company is one of the big ones in the DFW area putting you on projects run by mid-tier construction companies. There are well established site inspection processes and reporting procedures.

Cons

It's all about billable hours. You need to be billing 35 hours a week or more. Many of the safety managers end up putting in more than 40 hours per week to meet the standard. Remote work is not permitted. When you aren't on a project site they expect you to be in the office. The management team is spread thin and they struggle to give sufficient oversight, which sometimes leads to issues such as customer appointments being skipped, low quality inspection reports, and haphazard training courses that lack consistency and quality. When correction is needed, management pulls in the entire team and lectures them. The management methods reminded of my days working in fast food. If you are mid to late career safety professional, you may not like the culture or environment. The management team are safety professionals first and leaders second, and it shows. There is a division between the spanish speaking safety managers and the english speakers. Any attempt made by the english speakers to learn spanish to improve their interaction with clients was discouraged. There is lots of training conducted, but the curricula is not standardized or checked for quality and efficacy.
