Pros

Great pay and benefits. Various work sites and fast paced work environment. The work season tends to go by very quickly

Cons

Very long hours and a lot of time traveling and being away from home. Although safety really does come 1st with this company any construction related work comes with some risk.

Pros

Good salaries on offer for people with relevant skills & experience. High quality working environment, company is serious about environmental issues & H&S.

Cons

There is currently a cost cutting program across the company including compulsory redundancies, affecting staff morale. In my department, management all seemed to know each other, and it was a bit of a closed shop for employees - who you knew was more important than what you knew.
