Pros

Decent benefits, nice people to work with

Cons

Low pay scale for role they need you to fill. Don't expect raises or cost of living increases. They are trying to separate from hiring out of college kids. They hack your personal phone and delete everything when you leave. They only reimburse 75 for phone and expense mileage for use of your own vehicle.

Terracon’s commitment to being Incident and Injury Free TM (IIFTM) over the past decade has been transformative. A focus on care and concern for each other has made us a truly better company. Together we have significantly reduced injuries and made Terracon and our project sites safer places to work. Our culture of safety is reflected in positive company safety performance trends over the past eight years. We strive daily to demonstrate transparency and honest communication about our safety culture and our safety record. That said, earlier this year, we were tragically reminded that no matter how far we have come, our safety journey is ongoing and will always be. For the first time in our more than 55-year history, a Terracon team member lost his life on a project site. We have a responsibility to our employees and to his memory to learn from this tragedy and recommit to our promise of looking out for each other and making sure everyone goes home safe every day. We will continue to use every means available to build on our safety culture, improve our safety program, and work every day to be incident- and injury-free. If you desire to discuss specific concerns we are glad to put you in touch with our Safety Director.

If you're not a manager, you will receive no respect.

Pros

Everyone else that you work with wants out, too.

Cons

The metrics they have come up with make it very hard to accrue "billable" time to receive a bonus. You are expected to work extra, but rarely will you get the bonus or overtime you deserve. Other departments will over work their field crew to the point of exhaustion, but yet the company brags about their safety program. They will literally tell you to drink water to prevent heat exhaustion, then send crews out in the sun 10+ hours day after day. I worked with managers that treated me with zero respect. When I reported it to HR, I was ignored and it was never addressed again. There was no chance for upward mobility and my annual pay increase was less than 10%.

Pros

Opportunities for growth are there for anyone who is progressing naturally in their career. Benefits are good and so is pay.

Cons

The nature of the industry is very deadline based. There are long hours on occasion when required to meet deadlines.
