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

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.
