CEI Engineering Associates, Inc.

I worked here for 9 months as a Project Manager in the Commercial I section.  I either had plenty of work or no work at all.  CEI leadership is very transparent and provide a monthly financial status report of the company and host a company wide meeting.  The company hosts a fun committee that selects things to do every month.  They are very supportive of family time and events.  They were a great group of guys to work with and very helpful if you had a question.  The hardest part of the position was trying to understand what my supervisor wanted as he expected you to know what he needed when he needed it.

Working in the survey department and CEI has been a wonderful experience. They are understanding of things happening in life, easy to work with, firm but fair management, employee needs are taken care of, and it just feels like your working with people that care about you as well as the company. You don't feel sacrificed for the good of the company, and they care about your growth and success.

So many red flags with this company. Promised one thing during interviews (remote work, higher pay, job title) none of which materialized. Brought concerns up to management and HR on several occasions with no corrective action taken. Every other day there was company wide email about someone else "no longer with the company" Worst corporate experience of my career. Follow- up meetings about the pre-meeting for the main meeting type of atmosphere. Blue collar good Ole boys club. 

Many of the people who work there are experienced professionals who are comfortable in their knowledge. Unfortunately, the experienced personnel are not the only ones allowed to give instruction or make key decisions. The more toxic personnel are only there to pay the bill of their bad habits and previous mistakes in life. If you are a good scapegoat and you don’t have a problem with putting up with constant ignorance from inexperienced perspectives, this company may fit your preferences.

Overall
My experience working at CEI Engineering Associates ok

Your experience greatly differs by dept some are overworked, some underworked and others have no work. Accounting is a disaster from the top down. More responsibilities ,no pay raises for admin staff to do accounting work. Leadership is all male(lack of diversity, equity and inclusion if that says anything). Compensation is abysmal. 

Leadership is down to earth, benefits are competitive, and training is a priority.  CEI has been in the area for 50 years and boast a multitude of projects.  Great place to be exposed to many different projects and gain experience to grow your career.

CEI seems to care about its employees and being able to retain.  They send out quarterly evaluations for the employees to fill out to find out what each employee thinks about the company, their role in the company, and their overall happiness.

I definitely learned a lot about civil engineering working here.  I believe the steps to advancement do not match experience levels and new hire positions.  Work is fast paced and standard for a firm of this size.

I enjoyed my job at CEI Engineering and Associates. 
I was trained in many different tasks and worked closely with different teams members. 
The company closed their Minnesota location so my position was eliminated.
