Pros

There is an ESOP - employer contribution is about 3 percent match Nationwide work Not just one sector of work

Cons

If you want to leave before 5 years is up you do not get all of your ESOP There is a lot of favoritism and not really corporate structure to how people get paid. ie the guy at the desk next to you might know a lot less and do a lot less and show up for the company a lot less and you'll still get paid the same or less than him regardless of credentials or how hard you work or who you ask about it - which maybe a lot of these larger firms are that way - however that promotes you leaving the company to get better pay and potentially never circle back to Terracon at all No residential work so there is a missing sector for experience

Pros

You have sustainable hours for construction but there is mandatory overtime (The most I’ve done is 51 hours in a week), they pay you enough to live on, it’s good experience, upper management pays lip service to workers rights, there is genuine concern and regulation from management to provide you an emotionally and physically safe place to work, you’re never really rushed to do your job, and you do have the right to stop work

Cons

You need a degree in engineering or geology to move up and you have to threaten to move offices or take another job to get a pay raise. It’s not unionized.
