Pros

Good People Safe Environment Laid Back Atmosphere

Cons

Lower Level Employees Paid Very Low Wages Raises Come From an Allotted Amount Of Money From Corporate Office. Company Judges As a Whole Not By Region. Some Managers Literally Do Nothing. Techs Can Be Laid Off Whenever Office Gets Slow. 70+ Hour Summers... Struggle To Get 30 In The Winter. Hard Work To Try And Provide For Family.

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.
