No work life balance. The work place is run like a training center. You have to be okay with being micro managed and attending non-stop meeting. Meetings are never on time with management and sometimes you're blown off. Also, be prepare for spot quizzes that disrupt your work flow.
There's no consistency in manpower for the field, so be prepare to be a superintendent, foreman, project engineer and project manager all at once. If you're new, the GM of the company will sit with you at your desk and go through the drawings with you for at least a year and sometimes more.
