Pros

I have been with the company since March 2015 and it has been a challenging, engaging work experience so far. As a consulting geologist I have been at a lot of companies where the engineers look down on other technical staff but I feel that my skills are valued at Terracon and no such superiority complex is present. Demographically it is a diverse company with a lot of young engineers with fresh ideas ... That said, there are enough senior level mentors who are willing to teach and lead junior level staff.

Cons

Typical consulting woes - Long hours, immediate responsiveness to clients required, often at the expense of family time.

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.
