Pros

I worked with a great group of people. Some interesting projects to work on, but a lot of cookie-cutter projects. Good benefits, hardly any travel unless you wanted to help out in other offices. Friendly group of people in other offices. Great distance resources and easy to reach out to professionals in other offices.

Cons

Sometimes long hours, overloaded with projects. I felt like the larger offices had a good spread of work....smaller offices are leaner on the budget with less exciting projects.

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.
