Pros

Worked part-time at Terracon Charlotte while completing my engineering degree. Flexible hours. Good teaching and mentoring from other employees, supervisors, and project managers. Good safety culture. Tight knit office.

Cons

Pay for part-time employees is less than most firms hiring engineering students as interns. For full-time, there was a lot of discontent among employees with a lot of work experience but not a high level of education. For example, one excellent employee could not be promoted to project manager because he did not have a bachelor's degree. He was more than qualified for the position.

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.
