Pros

My particular office was top notch with talent and willingness to try new things. On a local level personnel was great, even within the region the mid-level management and below were great to work with. They offer a ton of services with a lot of opportunities to expand and grow.

Cons

The corporate structure was overbearing and very difficult to work with. Regional upper level management was too focused on national corporate obedience to truly care about the people in the office and do what the right thing was. Whether that was by choice or fear for their jobs, I cannot say. As a whole, they're not much different from the other firms in the same market, just with more corporate headaches.

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.
