Pros

National network of intelligent colleagues Company stock basically always outperforms the market Variety of fieldwork - soil logging, rock core logging, geophysics, some field engineering Decent safety culture - CEO seems genuine

Cons

Raises are often insignificant compared to inflation Significant pay disparity between field geologists and engineers- sometimes up to 10k/year Field geologists and engineers all do the same tasks They usually hire new people at a higher pay and never increase the staff that’s already there

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.
