Pros

Generally really cares about the people that work for them. Lots of team builders, great people to work with and a focus on safety and the well being of its employees.

Cons

If you’re on the road it’s expected of you to work much longer hours in exchange for the per diem pay. Sometimes this can be as much as 70 or 80 hours a week with rotation.

Pros

Nationally great approach to safety, benefits and progressive ideas for the industry.

Cons

The quality of your employment is entirely dependent on which office or working group you end up with. Young and will to travel is valued over experience. Long hours are expected regardless of your personal situation (kids, etc.). I took FML and returned to a lesser position with lesser pay as the local management felt I couldn't handle construction any longer despite having a drs release to return to work. I believe if I had been in a different office this would not have happened (I.e. the local management was inexperienced ). This resulted in me leaving after 6+ years.
