Pros

Decent base pay. Lots of overtime

Cons

No per diem. Safety workers care about people, but doesn't feel like management care if people get hurt or worse. No raise or advancement, if you miss a single day in 90 day period.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

They are pretty competitive with pay,

Cons

High turnover, incompetent supervision, poor/last min schedule writing, insurance is expensive, no vacation til you've been on the job 2 years then you only get a week, no sick days, no bereavement time, no support from corporate at field sites, general apathy from foremen and supervisors. it seems as though that apathy runs all the way through the company. Zachry does not care about their employees.
