      Pros

      Decent Benefits, 401k ESOP. Get to work outside a lot if you like that

      Cons

      Everything else. As a salary employee I was asked to work upwards of 80 hours per week with no overtime pay increase, 6-7 days a week on a large project. Management dismissed any conversations for more pay or potential for career advancement. For over a year I worked the most total and chargeable hours of anyone at the office without any sort of fair compensation or reward. Saved them tens of thousands over the course of a single project just by being on salary. When I finally asked for a raise I was offered 2% (a .30 cent increase). Felt like a total slap in the face and knew management would never notice hard work so I left.

      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.
