Pros

The company follows through with safety. It is a #1 priority. The people within the company are also fantastic. Little micro-managing and a decent amount of team work. Projects require many authorized individuals to be evolved, so you are never left in the dust to fend for yourself.

Cons

Pay is lower than average market, and the benefits are OK, but not great. The company pushes hard for employees to buy stock shares, since it is "employee owned (and not publicly traded/owned; however the incentives to do so are not enticing enough. The work/life balance is fair, but could also be better. The corporate life style runs heavy in the veins here and if you are not trying to climb that ladder you won't find yourself wanting to commit long term employment.

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.
