Pros

There is a healthy mix of field work and office work. You are not inside all the time but you are not outside all the time either. Terracon works on a wide variety of projects. This makes each work week unique and keeps things from getting repetitive. They also pay overtime and offer a 401k with a company match. The company match is made with Terracon company stock.

Cons

Working as a contractor can make the workload inconsistent. This job is full time (40 hours) minimum. The weekly workload can vary between 40-60 hours a week. The downside is that working longer weeks can throw off your work-life balance. However, this also allows you to get extra overtime.

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.
