Terracon Employee Review

Current Employee – been working at Terracon full-time

Pros – Flexible hours, good health benefits. You get 3 weeks paid vacation and sick time combined. Management support has been excellent--when there has been a problem, I was pleasantly surprised by their thoroughness of understanding the problem and making the right decision. I have been treated fairly, management has kept its word, and, most importantly, I find ethics to be top notch--I've never been asked to do anything unethical. Current managers treat me with respect and care about the welfare of their employees. There's plenty of work in Omaha environmental group.

Cons – Work hours can be long, the expectation is that you try to put in 44 hours/week as necessary to get the job done. Extra hours are almost always expected from salaried employees, no matter where you go. You're paid to get the job done. Deadlines often demand that if you're going to satisfy the client and you haven't planned properly or get surprised in a project. Unproductive employees are not given important feedback to improve and are left alone for too long. Reviews are not conducted regularly, changeability goals are not realistic, however, that doesn't appear to hurt people--there seems to be a norm about this that is generally accepted.

Advice to Senior Management – Improve the annual review and communication to employees about performance on a regular basis.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
