Pros

Decent working conditions, flexible with schedules to a certain extent. One can work a lot of hours very easily as long as weather permits.

Cons

Weather can hurt your pay, then over work you once the weather is clear for some time. Anything other than the yearly raise in pay is Tough/impossible to obtain.

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.
