Terracon reviews

I was constantly paranoid about having non-billable time. I'd routinely be "at the office" for 8-10 hours and have 6-8 hours of billable time because of small gaps between scheduled stops at projects. Pay was pretty much terrible for the technicians. Which was ridiculous because they generated more revenue than anyone else in the entire company. Project manager once asked me to bill mileage for project A to project B, which I visited later in the day, in order to stay under budget. I didn't do it but also didn't report it. I think this incident was an anomaly but still worth a con. The office I worked at took way too long to get rid of toxic employees.

No overtime compensation for salaried employees. Untrustworthy management. Understaffed. Unqualified. Company motto is get the job then figure out how to do the work. Horrific place to work. "Principals" have all out of pocket medical expenses paid, their kid's college tuition paid, their vacations are paid (not paid time off, their hotel, airfare, meals, etc. are paid by the company). If you can move up to principal, you can reap these benfits at the expense of the rest of the over-worked, underpaid employee's slaving away. As a licensed Professional Engineer, I couldn't even get the company to spring for an up to date desktop, let alone a laptop to complete my work. The company overworks staff in a thriving office to offset losses in failing markets. This company is a JOKE. If you don't have an "in", you will get screwed here.
