Pros

Lot of work. Good business development dep.good safety thoughts. Great thing I found working at Terracon is the options of traveling and helping other offices if your office is running low on jobs at a particular time. Your own initiative drives certifications (if you push forward with certs you can grow faster) Great if your a single person.The benefits (insurance/401k match) are good.

Cons

If your first engineering / consulting firm job it would be hard to support a family as pay is really low. High turnover . Long hours and working in various inclament weather at times. Poor comunication in terms of scheduling next days work.

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.
