Pros

It is a pretty good company. You get an annual bonus around the Nov/Dec timeframe - non-managers usually $100 to $500 before taxes. The company gives each location "spot" bonus money (usually $50 or $100 pre-paid visa cards) to hand out to employees throughout the year. If you are lucky enough to work with a manager who has a "mentor" mindset, you will learn a great deal. It is employee owned and you aren't working for shareholders outside the company.

Cons

Should you work for a manager with NO vision, you will go nowhere, learn very little over a long span of time, and have to be your own leader, not have an opinion, etc. My office had a warm body in the "Leader" chair but no vision, no communication, not a person who tries to help others advance or learn, not a manager or leader in any sense of the word, weak minded with a bad attitude and a BIG ego.

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.
