Excellent Employer Overall - Avis employé Staff Economist Laurits R Christensen Associates

Terrific work life balance. Plenty of job flexibility. Lots of opportunities to try work in new fields. Well respected in their niche.

If you are a workaholic and enjoy long hours it can be at times very laid back. While they do a good job not overworking employees this can sometimes lead to periods of minimal work.

Good pay and benefits

Excellent chairman CEO. Appears to be a friendly great group of people at first. From the Vice Presidents down to Senior Economists, this quickly changes and you learn that this is a great place to work if you don't have or expect to have a life outside of work. You are accepted conditionally based on your willingness to submit to their cult like control over. You. The culture is a rigid clique. If you are not willing to make your co workers your only friends and family, your time there will be hell. Too many middle and micro managers that play favorites to the extreme. As long as you are in their graces you will be accepted and valued. Some employees are hired particularly to help with a heavy case load and are cast aside when no longer needed
