Pros

Safety is the top priority here. It's part of the culture and they will stand behind their employees fully if they dont feel comfortable proceeding on a jobsite because of safety concerns. Their benefits are very good and they treat their employees well. I have recommended Terracon to a number of friend and family members for that reason.

Cons

The pay is not the highest in the industry but I do feel that the benefits packages compensate for that well.
