Pros

If you are someone straight out of college (with a good back) with no work experience, this is a good place to start because they will train you and it's experience you can put on your resume.

Cons

The pay is way too low, especially the field and engineering technicians. For how much physical labor the jobs require, there is not enough compensation for it, especially having to be outside in the 100+ degree weather. After a year, I had enough.

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.
