Pros
Ok to get a foot in the construction door
Rostered days off
Hrs 7-3 one 15min break
Cons
Low pay high pressure, safety is a paper you sign but not always followed unless inspector on site. Sick days will make your job difficult and poor communication from management,
Working Saturdays is 1.5 pay for first 2 hours then double pay for remaining.
Owners seemed decent.
Cons
They try to lure you in saying what a great company they are.
Everyone you work with will treat you like crap.
Have to argue and have a go at everyone at least 5 times a day everyday.
First time working 2 hours in I didn’t hear what size pipe they wanted cut and the pipe layer had a go at me.
*** They expect you to work every Saturday and look down at you if you don’t ***
