      I work at Terrible-con I vent/ meant Terracon, Sorry

      Field technician
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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.

      Expect to work long hours doing monotonous tasks for low pay and slow advancement

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -They take safety very seriously -They give you all the equipment needed to perform your work

      Cons

      -Turnover rate is extremely high. They will fire an employee during a slow month and the next month will hire somebody to take their place because more work is predicted. This has occurred no less than 10 times during a 4 year period in just one office location. -I have seen at least 3 occasions where an employee was "promoted" in the sense that they were given the work but the title and raise never accompanied it. -Winter layoffs are unpredictable and no communication is given until less than a month before. -If you are one of the lucky ones that doesn't get laid off, expect to be doing monotonous tasks around the lab. How many times can you sweep the floor before the broom fibers wear down to nothing and your brain turns to mush? -Hours are long and unpredictable. Expect to work 5am-7pm in the summer and also many Saturdays and occasional Sundays. However, this does make up for the looming layoff.
