Pros

Decent Benefits Average Pay Lots of Hours

Cons

50¢ for a yearly raise as a top technician is inexcusable. This was not unique to me. Never given opportunities for certifications, which is the only thing that brings value to our position. (Keep in mind we’re still expected to do the types of inspections and tests that a certified person would do). You will be promised many things by management, they rarely will follow through, which is sad because some of us have put in countless years and have nothing to show for it. Management will always put the job above their own personnel, which is common in construction companies, and exists here as well.

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.
