Pros

401k, nice health benefits, management (atleast at my office) is good in the sense of you are able to talk to them whenever you have an issue and they’re usually really nice.

Cons

Terrible pay. I’ve been offered almost double what I make at other firms. I’ve only held out this long because I came to Terracon with no experience or training so I feel like I should stay for a while. Lack of work. For the first year and some change I was working 60+ hours every week in town, then all of a sudden (months before covid) the hours just stopped. Have had to work across the country for some months just due to no one at our office getting anywhere close to 40 hours. Also management seems to be scared to dive into other types of inspection services. Really sucks because I really did like this company and now it’s hard to find a reason to stay.

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.
