Pros

Work/life balance Career advancement training opportunities

Cons

Toxic top-down management culture. Environmental employees are expendable. If you aren’t an engineer, good luck. Management does not care to get to know their employees and favoritism is the norm, not the exception. Unrealistic expectations from new hires. Low compensation for industry standards.

Pros

Very flexible with daily hours WFH Benefit Decent all-around benefits Fair Pay for Marketers

Cons

- The SoCal region has a terrible company culture. Leadership takes no interest in knowing their employees (unless you’re the favored ones). After 9 months, not a single person in the company knew virtually anything about me. I was a cog in the machine and that was all. They claim to be the “best at people” which is just BS. - I was hired as a hybrid role and in my first 2 months, after making my first mistake, was told to come into the office 5 days a week making my weekly commute time 10 hours in traffic. - Depressing office spaces. Older buildings. - Worked from a WFH space near the beach and management accused me of lying and was just pretending to work while I was at the beach. - Regional manager is only concerned about the bottom line. In his words “everything comes down to money”. Only a few people gets promoted as a result as that costs the region money. - After moving jobs to a company that really prioritizes their people, Terracon needs upper management that know how to manage people well, not just management who are good engineers.
