Pros

I worked for Terracon in the Raleigh, NC office for just over 5 years. During my time with the company, I worked as a Field and Staff Geologist. The Raleigh office has a great team and work environment; it was easy for me to count on my other coworkers when I had a question or needed advice. It was important for me that I had great work relationships with all of my coworkers, and many of those former coworkers have become good friends. Terracon presented many opportunities for career advancement, from conferences, meetings, to taking the initiative on new projects. I really enjoyed the amount of involvement between the senior level and junior level staff, as mentoring is a key component of the success of the company. Lastly, as our environmental department grew in the Raleigh office, the department and office managers were very helpful and willing to explore options on obtaining new equipment and methods to help complete jobs more safely and efficiently.

Cons

As with many consulting-based positions, deadlines can creep up and schedules may shift with last minute projects. From my experience, starting at the company as a Field Geologist, I spent a lot of time in the field, but with experience and time I started to have a more balanced work-life schedule. I think it is important for the field employee(s) to have options for rotating schedules for longer-term field projects (i.e. months).
