Pros

When I worked for Terracon, it was always a bonus to get my feet wet when it came to on-the-job training with drill crews and lab technicians. I was very fond of the safety programs implemented there. and was fond of the employees I met during my time there. There was no shortage of job experience - I will remember many lessons learned out in the field and take it with me as my career grows and develops.

Cons

Very boilerplate analysis at most times. Engineers are in an unfortunate position to ignore the pleas of technicians and drill crews. The leadership often ignored the problems of the workers who collect data and do the actual work. The company seemed to always value projects over their employees.

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.
