Pros

Flexible schedule Coworkers are friendly Stock options for employees

Cons

1. Company lays off many employees and two weeks later is swamped with work and has to hire new employees to help with the workload. 2. Company has asked employees to transfer work locations, pays for moving the employee and their family, and after one month on the new job, they lay the employee off with a poor severance package because they have budget concerns. 3. Company is poorly managed. 4. An employee for a Terracon office that has had a very poor earnings year will get the exact same raise as an employee for a seperate Terracon office which had an excellent year. Employees have no reason to go above and beyond if they are going to be rewarded at the same rate as an office with poor performance.

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.
