      Pros

      Local management allows some flexibility on workday arrival and departure times, which makes life easier for those with young families or longer commutes. Upon manager approval, Terracon has a generous tuition reimbursement program.

      Cons

      Next to no room for advancement, which means if you want a job with additional responsibilities, you pretty much have one choice, leave the company.

      Pros

      Great, if you want to be laid off for 5 months while your position is filled by a less qualified candidate who makes significantly less per hour. Some of the job postings will tell you all you need to know, looking for technicians with a b.s and offering $14 an hour

      Cons

      No travel time paid to prevailing wage projects. Employees billed for use of company trucks. No overtime paid on travel time. Dishonest management-when I was placed on seasonal leave my supervisor reported it as a medical leave to EDD which denied unemployment benefits. No opportunities for additional training or advancement. Does not challenge employees. For example, if you have mostly soil testing experience, you will only do soil testing with no opportunities to learn other materials and methods. Outdated safety policy. Sub-par equipment. New employees are paid well below average for california standards as the wage offered is "the national average".

      Pros

      This company seems legit, but it's a bunch of people trying to use the people they manage to look good. The office I worked out of was filled with people who talk to you like they're looking out for you, but they just want you to go out and do the dirty work. These people hire EIT as hourly technicians, lol. Stay Away.

      Cons

      I would stay away if you're a young engineer. There are many companies that can offer you a much better experience. Plus the pay isn't up to industry standard.
