Pros

Good pay and benefits. Terracon is great in that you can wind up all over the nation after you get some experience. Overall would I work here again.

Cons

Management can be less than responsive and safety was being worked on. However, actual implementation of the safety program had much to be desired. Additionally, as it was a down economy they were willing to wait on pay raises and moving people up. If there had been a clear path to management, never would have even applied anywhere else.

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.
