Pros

Make contacts in construction industry, learn how to read building plans, less busy job sites have a lot of down time, learn how to use/ value your time as you have to account for all of it.

Cons

On call: Work dependent on weather and what's available. May be notified the night before that you have to drive 3 hours round trip at 3 am in the morning only 8 hours before hand (1900 the night before).

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.
