Pros

Higher pay rate compared to competitors, good benefits, company vehicle to use for transit to and from job sites.

Cons

No guarantee on hours, you are at the whims of the contractors. Very rarely broke 30 hours a week. Additionally very little prior notice or communication about job assignments, I would only find out where I would be at the following day at 5 pm the evening prior.

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.
