Pros

Steady work...same all the time

Cons

Little exposure to high caliber work. Firm does not focus core services on highly technical or large contract services. Look for other larger firms that will have good growth models and likely expose you to a higher diversification of services.

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.
