Pros

Growing company, plenty of work to do; depending on what department you're in, you're never at a loss for things to do.

Cons

Even though they say there are advancement opportunities, it doesn't always work out that way. Promises were not kept, others brought in from the outside to handle jobs that could have been given to existing employees.

Pros

I have been with the company since March 2015 and it has been a challenging, engaging work experience so far. As a consulting geologist I have been at a lot of companies where the engineers look down on other technical staff but I feel that my skills are valued at Terracon and no such superiority complex is present. Demographically it is a diverse company with a lot of young engineers with fresh ideas ... That said, there are enough senior level mentors who are willing to teach and lead junior level staff.

Cons

Typical consulting woes - Long hours, immediate responsiveness to clients required, often at the expense of family time.

Pros

Caring company-our safety culture really represents how people treat each other. Everyone treats each other like family. Programs allow us to draw on knowledge from others within the company that have more experience in certain fields.

Cons

Workload distribution can be an issue (as it can everywhere). If you are doing a good job, you can easily get overwhelmed.
