Pros

The people I worked with were generally very nice and willing to help. Safety was a huge thing which was also nice. Large, established company so wide variety of projects to work on. Benefits were slightly above average.

Cons

I was constantly paranoid about having non-billable time. I'd routinely be "at the office" for 8-10 hours and have 6-8 hours of billable time because of small gaps between scheduled stops at projects. Pay was pretty much terrible for the technicians. Which was ridiculous because they generated more revenue than anyone else in the entire company. Project manager once asked me to bill mileage for project A to project B, which I visited later in the day, in order to stay under budget. I didn't do it but also didn't report it. I think this incident was an anomaly but still worth a con. The office I worked at took way too long to get rid of toxic employees.

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.
