Pros

Good people if you’re in the right location. If not, you rely on subpar mid-management for everything

Cons

Too many to mention…low salary, crappy benefits, stagnant mobility (unless in a small market). Maybe it’s like this everywhere, but you aren’t viewed as anything but a warm body unless you’re a principal…which honestly makes sense. Put in the time, move up, and then you’ll make bank. Or just start your own company; that’s what I did.

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.
