Pros

When its busy, there's plenty to do and a lot to learn. I enjoyed everyone I worked with, minus only a couple of people. There were company outings too, and those were fun to take friends to. They want you to excel, and they show it. During the summer you can easily work 40-60 hours a week and not even realize it.

Cons

When things slow down, they cut back and get angry if you're not in the office. But even when you show up in the office there's nothing to be done, because the project managers don't know what to give you. But if you're not there for 8 hours doing nothing then you'll be let go. From October to February, good luck getting any hours. Only half of our staff was actually able to work, and of those who worked they were only able to average 25 hours a week during the slow winter season.

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.
