Pros

Great people. Strong pragmatic strategic vision and annual operations plan. Good geographic presence to serve clients and access talent. Consistent and strong financial performance. Employee ownership allows for long-term decisions and rewards.

Cons

Too many initiatives focused on improving operations, which puts too much stress on the entire organization and distracts from serving core mission to clients. Expressed desire to show care and concern does not align with current services provided which are inherently cyclical and require laying field staff off during winter months.

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.
