Pros

Work, Work, Work, Work, and more work

Cons

Technicians are considered to be replaceable, all of them. Wage is a joke will screw you out of a dollar. Technicians are treated extremely poorly at the northeast location and most of the technicians are only there until they can get a better position somewhere else. Over 25 people have quite in past 9 months. Biggest problems - false promises, will not back you – why issue a deviation if the contractor calls up and companies, abusive.

Pros

Safety REALLY is a priority, lots of opportunity to learn as much as you want to.

Cons

It is all about being billable. Pay increases are minimal.

Pros

Casual environment and a brand, new conference room maybe only 10 people use a month!

Cons

Hired for a position that didn't exist, then got layed off. Other employees said that I'd never get a raise once I'd accepted the position at the hourly rate Terracon offered so "plan on staying in that position at that pay rate forever". They hire EVERYONE as "part-time" even though you're actually working full-time, they say you're part-time so as not to provide benefits or allow you to collect unemployment if you're "layed off". Terracon never uses the terminology Laid Off or Fired, they say "we're sending you home" this sending home crap goes on for awhile before you're actually just really layed off. They sent a bad check as a final payroll check in the mail which the Corporate Office acknowledged as "we've had trouble with King Soopers". I did not try to cash the check at only King Soopers, I tried Safeway, Walmart, and my Bank! All these merchants said the same thing, Terracon has tried to pass off bad payroll checks. There has been no resolution except to suggest I deposit my check rather than cash it or the Corporate office will send another payroll check (which I cannot cash!). They bank with Bank of America - that's enough right there to expect some sort of erroneous behavior with former bad checks being disbursed and then they blame it on their former employees and say it was the former employee who was at fault (without any specifics of course).
