Pros

Coworkers were very nice and supportive

Cons

Almost bi-polar management, one week we are getting yelled at because we don't have enough business then when we do get the business, we get yelled at because we have too much work and not enough staff. No real support from management, unrealistic performance goals, rates were too high to be competitive in market, pay was not competitive so it was hard to keep staff, management talked about of both sides of their mouth frequently, said they cared about people but really did not follow up with other than token gestures like free coffee but it was cheap coffee

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.
