Pros

Very big on safety. Good people to work with. Good benefits.

Cons

Low pay. Very poor communication. My boss can barely hold a conversation with you. He would rather hide behind his desk and send out grumpy emails all day. Hardly any work. Few hours a week. Maybe 20 hrs a week on average. A person is better off finding another job.

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.
