Pros

Get to work with great people at the local level.

Cons

Each office tends to have a focus on either construction engineering or environmental science with a certain level of facilities management. This is great if your local office is balanced toward your field, not so great if it isn't. I worked on the environmental side of an engineering-heavy office. Business development left a lot to be desired and the end came from out of the blue. Here today, gone tomorrow. They took the work I was doing and gave it to lower paid newbs, who are expected to put in endless hours to stay on top of caseload.

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.
