Pros

The work environment is pretty laid back. Honestly, doesn't feel like a job. I enjoy going to work.

Cons

Here is where my rant starts. People need to start being held accountable. Currently, as a field engineer, I've been doing everything from proposals, project managing, and getting out in the field to do technician work. I read all these reviews about technicians complaining. I understand they are the ones doing the hard work but it's some of them that are a liability. Falsified reports, stealing time, incomplete reports, reports with horrible information, and so on. Then they complain about pay when I can't even get one report to review and send out. I have to spend extra time making it legible and presentable to the clients. I understand that they might need more time training but when they don't speak up it's hard knowing how prepared they are.

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.
