Pros

The people I got to work with were great and opportunity to continually learn new things was great. Schedules could be flexible depending on the projects going on at the time. Alot of the work was not with other Terracon employees but rather dealing with contractors. Got to work outside and at different places all the time.

Cons

At the time I was working there the travel became more than I wanted. Not too much over night travel but I would be on the road up to 8 hours just getting to and from the job sites. It was also during the rescission and the quality of work in construction was lower and some how everyone liked to blame the inspector for the contractor not building per plans and specs.

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.
