Pros

As far as this industry goes, there is nothing Terracon does better than other competing firms I have worked for.

Cons

Low pay, always on call but not compensated, safety culture that looks to assign blame rather than find the cause. I don't know about other locations but the Sacramento office was disorganized and understaffed.

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.
