Pros

I worked here less than a year before I left for graduate school. The office atmosphere was positive, and other coworkers including supervisors were genuinely helpful. What I liked most about this company was that it was established, with pretty solid procedures/policies (in terms of on-site job training, new employee training, etc). Although I wasn't there for long, as a new employee I felt like my supervisors and managers had my back.

Cons

I wasn't really there long enough to be able to comment on long-term personal growth, or other major cons.

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.
