Pros

Fairly stable place to work--growing. Conservative and can be counted on to not change hours or location.

Cons

A kingdom of the Have's (the Principals) and the Have-nots (pee ons/everyone else.) Culture is very much geared for the greed of the Have's of the company. Management at the corporate office is ever looking to make it a sweatshop environment. When you have a boss that has less experience, education, and frankly, less talent...it is time to move on. Sanctimonious "leadership" that is OUT OF TOUCH with reality.

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.
