Great place to work. Great benefits and safety is number one for employees. Lots of room for advancement and usually reviews every 6 months

Management needs to be a little more in tune at times without fast turn overs

Pros

Pay is good, if economy is up, as rates are negotiated with Energy companies at project bidding phases.

Cons

No pension plans. Job security does not exist, especially when economy is down. Project to project bridging is unpredictable, more to do with timing, even if you have the needed skills.
