Pros

1.) Coworkers at all levels are generally pleasant. 2.) The company is pretty good about offering field technicians the chance to become certified in a variety of areas. 3.) Their per diem is better than any contractor I'd come across. 4.) Their fleet vehicles were relatively new and kept in decent shape. 5.) They were pretty good about getting employees whatever equipment they needed, within reason. 6.) Tuition reimbursement plan.

Cons

Extremely poor pay for the nature of the work and the amount of responsibility. The benefits are only partially paid for by the company. Occasional long hours and/or weekend work. Occasional miscommunication between managers and subordinates.

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.
