Pros

Rewarded for bad behavior that would get you fired and jailed at most jobs. Accidents in company trucks with no real disciplinary action. If they need you/your license, they overlook a lot of things. Fudging monthly numbers so PSL can look like it made the most. Work far and I mean far but still use company trucks/cars and waste gas. If you can't spell or make complete sentences in the English language, not a problem, they are mgt material!

Cons

Call you "family" - complete liars. Everyone is overworked and underpaid. Everyone is exhausted, looking like zombies. Cameras to watch your every move. They tell you when to use your PTO. Raises are never above $1.00 Insurance is awful and EXPENSIVE. NO bonuses, only for who he likes. Incompetent "managers." The ask you to do onlinereviews to counter the bad ones. Pizza parties do not suffice ANYTHING you think they do. Treated like children at times with stupid cheap "gifts." No parking, expected to park ON THE ROAD! HIGH turnover once they see how much work they have vs. the pay. New people have cubbies in the HALLWAY! Managers text each other about employees they don't like as if they are teenagers.

Pros

Pay is ok, there are a few fun and kind people, exposure to many construction sites and processes in the geotechnical business, learned how to write great reports

Cons

Unorganized systems, no proper training course, disorganized management, no communication from management, false sense of growth and success from corporate, no bonuses, slow days are very slow and you often have to lie on your time sheet, no professional development goals to work towards, over time is promised in the interview but then not offered, help with PE courses is promised and then not offered, schedule is subject to change at literally any moment (even before you wake up) and you're expected to be available 24/7, WEEKEND WORK, OVERNIGHT WORK sometimes have to travel 2.5hrs+ to sites
