Pros

If you travel with the company you have plenty opportunity to make OT, however the cons are starting to outweigh the pros

Cons

In comparison to other companies Zachry's benefits are mediocre. You have to work 5 years(straight) before you get 3 weeks of vacation. I have been with them well over 5 years(closer to 10) and because I don't have a "degree", I have been stomped down on, for a lack of better words. Having a "degree", preferably A&M, and absolutely no experience now outweighs loyal people who have traveled and busted their butts for the company with no appreciation showed at all. If they know you're a hard worker, they will take advantage of that. The more you screw up, the more you move up should be more of their moto!
