Pros

Often travel to remote sites with generous per diem, good work experience if you allow yourself to learn, a lot of overtime if you're looking for it, most of the work is outdoors, and the office environment is pretty good

Cons

*Sometimes had to contend with dangerous wildlife unarmed *Some unaccountability that could have been catastrophic were it not for the good judgment of underlings *Some folks are expected to perform above their paygrade seemingly without willingness to scale compensation accordingly, hence why I'm looking outside the company

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.
