Pros

If you have no personal life, no family, and like to keep your head stuck in a hole, it is a good place to work. If you don't mind a lot of backward office politics and half finished comments because company policy forbids "pointing fingers" instead of actually building trust and correctly completing projects, this is the place for you. If you like working with people who hate coming to work and complain all the time, this is your place!

Cons

Corporate obstacles too big to overcome for those who really want to do a good job. Corporate staff have a high turn over. Just when you think you know who to talk to, they leave and no one tells anyone like it is a big secret.

Pros

You have sustainable hours for construction but there is mandatory overtime (The most I’ve done is 51 hours in a week), they pay you enough to live on, it’s good experience, upper management pays lip service to workers rights, there is genuine concern and regulation from management to provide you an emotionally and physically safe place to work, you’re never really rushed to do your job, and you do have the right to stop work

Cons

You need a degree in engineering or geology to move up and you have to threaten to move offices or take another job to get a pay raise. It’s not unionized.
