Pros

Good benefits. The work environment is pretty laid-back. There's a lot of freedom to work independently without being micromanaged. They're also pretty flexible with your time schedule.

Cons

Low pay, low raises. A 5% raise is considered really good. There's also an annual bonus issue to November and you'll be lucky if it's about $1000 before taxes

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.
