Pros

Flexible - You can easily get time off if you have accumulated the PTO.

Cons

I am truly disappointed by this company. I have not gotten a promotion in over 2 years of working here, but I am often told I do a great job and that I am a valuable employee. I was so grateful for this job since it was my first full-time job, but unfortuntely I got more and more upset at the way I was treated as the months went on. For a period of over a year, I was told to do numerous tasks that were for positions 1, 2, and even 3 times above mine, yet I was never compensated. It is truly disgusting how none of my superiors realize this. I mean how can someone be told often that they do a great job by multiple people, but yet never get compensated for it? This is one of those corporate companies that like to act like they are great and are a "family," but are not by any means. They like to act like it is important to hire younger employees that can grow in the company, but why would their employees want to stay and grow when they are not treated well?

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.
