Pros

401k, employee match.PTO., nothing more.

Cons

Typical work week for a hourly person 55-65 hrs. 80% of hourly employees do 95% of work. One department will only teach you half of most test. Constantly reminded you can be let go anytime for any reason. Hostile working environment. You only get to learning what the manger wants you to learn. Constantly reminded you can be fired if you dont participate in evening cleaning. Very selective when it comes to openings - "We don't inform our employees of opening, we perfer that they go and hunt down opening online", ironic part is that half of admin staff is employees family members(huband, wife, brother, sister, daughter), no diversity. The real Terracon family. "We open and close job opening all the time". They post a job opening, take applications, when the person they choose isnt the most qualified, they close out the reference number and open a new one . This enables them to re-apply , SO system will show only 1 application response. To many people with no experience or certification being pushed ahead of hard workers that have put in their time, got certifications and put forth the effort to make Terracon the quality company that built it reputation. 5 different managers in 10 yrs.
