Pros

You get to ride your truck around with a cone in the back. Staff people get all the perks - the big bonuses, time off without being fired for not being chargable.

Cons

The hours - some days you work 3 hrs and some days you work 17. Sometimes you get a couple hours notice that your schedule changes the following day. Sometimes you go back to college, only to have management let you go for not being available at 4 in the morning on 2 days a week.

Pros

You have sustainable hours for construction but there is mandatory overtime (The most I’ve done is 51 hours in a week), they pay you enough to live on, it’s good experience, upper management pays lip service to workers rights, there is genuine concern and regulation from management to provide you an emotionally and physically safe place to work, you’re never really rushed to do your job, and you do have the right to stop work

Cons

You need a degree in engineering or geology to move up and you have to threaten to move offices or take another job to get a pay raise. It’s not unionized.
