Pros

Yearly reviews and raises Competitive Benefits Provides and encourages regular training Staff performs yearly surveys about management and company performance Awards given for recruitment Can nominate employees for special yearly awards Provided the necessary and needed equipment to work safely, (field and in office) Keeps it's fleet up to date It's systems are all integrated and user friendly Nationwide - opportunities to transfer and grow Literally the company you dream about working for

Cons

-Billable staff, (the staff that actually performs the work we get paid for), are undervalued, treated poorly and bonused a fraction of what the office staff gets. -No way to meet chargeability goals - take a day off or have an appointment, your not going to meet your chargeability goal for the year. -Petty and Orwellian work environment, caused by a handful of staff. -Staff speak of being stressed, overworked, tired. Most stated they were living in fear of being fired, or laid off. -Many staff members have medical issues related to work environment. During my employment, during work hours, three different people had to be taken for emergency medical treatment due to serious stress related issues. -High turn over of seasoned/dedicated staff. -Comments on yearly surveys do not appear to be taken seriously. -They claim equality for all, but really, only the small ruling faction matters.

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.
