Pros

Nationally great approach to safety, benefits and progressive ideas for the industry.

Cons

The quality of your employment is entirely dependent on which office or working group you end up with. Young and will to travel is valued over experience. Long hours are expected regardless of your personal situation (kids, etc.). I took FML and returned to a lesser position with lesser pay as the local management felt I couldn't handle construction any longer despite having a drs release to return to work. I believe if I had been in a different office this would not have happened (I.e. the local management was inexperienced ). This resulted in me leaving after 6+ years.

Pros

- Huge company with a lot of resources. - Cool projects.

Cons

- Pay is not great especially for the amount of hours they want you to put in. - They do not pay for experience. So, it’s a good place to start, but if you have experience, go somewhere else. - They hire and promote way too quickly which means inexperienced people are in charge. - If you work in the field, you will be putting in 50-60 hours a week often and they justify it by saying you get subsistence. Do the math, you’re not getting paid very well at those hours even with subsistence. Also subsistence is a benefit for traveling, not justification for overusing employees. - While a lot of the people are good, it is a very political atmosphere.
