Pros

Awesome coworkers and a few good managers. Access to certs if you're willing to put in the studying on your own time.

Cons

No job growth. Pay is way under average, but they do pay for your certifications and as much overtime as you want if it's available. False promises, raises based on how much butt kissing/begging you're willing to put up with, unequal treatment. Benefits are provided as an incentive rather than employee status. It is possible to get them after 30 days if you ask as part of your offer letter. Get everything in writing! The halls are filled with people who were promised and later told "I never said that." Hence the extremely high turnover.

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.
