Pros
I've been an employee for nearly 13 years, and there are a ton of reasons for why I've stayed. I feel that the success and wellness of my work life and personal life are important to the company and those I report to. You would be hard-pressed to find an employer with a greater investment in your overall success. I'm given all the tools I need to do the job, both in the office and in the field. The work is challenging, but that's exactly what keeps it interesting. This is a production business, and if you work hard and produce you're rewarded in a number of ways, both in opportunities and financial incentives. I spent the first half of my career solely in the field and found multiple opportunities for advancement along the way. The benefits are very good, and the company does an annual review to make sure there's not a better deal out there. The company is still fairly young, and that's given me the feeling that I've helped build something. There is a very strong support system among my peers, and if anyone needs help of any kind everyone steps up. It is a family-style work atmosphere all the way to the top. If you're ever at the corporate building, it's not uncommon to bump into the CEO and get a hug or high-five from him. Donan is a leader in the industry with an unparalleled infrastructure. This has translated to a growing client base, and there's solid job security. My only concern is keeping up with all the new business, which is a great problem to have. If you're a forensic engineer or fire investigator interested in the private sector, this is where you want to work.
Kontras
If you don't like change, this isn't the place for you. Donan is constantly changing and evolving, but that's what it takes to be an industry leader.
