Pros
Mix of field and office work Year round work available Mostly compliance monitoring and pre-clearing, not just environmental monitoring OT at 1.5 pay or banked hours (paid out quarterly) Competitive salaries Ability to nominate coworkers for monetary bonuses ($250-$2000) Opportunities for upward movement and cross disciplinary work
Cons
Very busy field season, trips cancelled last minute Very little mentorship/guidance Often thrown set up to fail and blamed for mistakes Big company difficulties (getting approved for expenses, training, PPE, etc.) Branded as an enviro company but mostly just a lot of talk OT paid out quarterly so no big chunks of time off in the winter High burnout rate
