Pros

Good people work for Terracon and it has a good culture.

Cons

Very disorganized, tries to reinvent the wheel the wheel is perfectly fine. There's a bunch of chiefs and so ideas and view and approach gets so disorganized that it's nearly impossible to do your job. AND THERE ALWAYS HAS TO BE SOMEONE TO BLAME. No one can take credit for their mistakes.

Pros

Get to work outdoors See many parts of California Exposed to/gain exp. in many parts of the industry very quickly

Cons

Extreme Outdoor work conditions (Summer months to include many 50-60+hr weeks in 100-110+ degree heat) Extremely long hours when including travel Last minute schedule changes The parts of California you see are the worst parts Very little support from management/PM's unless there is a problem Very little in-person training Homophobic, transphobic, and sexist comments/"jokes" are encountered regularly on the job from either other employees or subcontractors with whom you are expected to maintain good relations
