Pros

401K is ok Medical Plan is good Stock Purchase is good Lots of positions get a company vehicle Opportunities to go international

Cons

Work in garbage towns. 100 hours of work a week (mostly paperwork) and all you hear from management is complaints. Come home covered in mud for less money than anybody on location. Managers and sales are out of touch with field employees.

Business Outlook

Pros

Very good training and support. The first 6 months as an engineer is spent taking classes. Pay is competitive with excellent benefits. Very understanding management in terms of taking time off.

Cons

Very long and irregular hours make it very difficult to have a life outside of work. Massive disconnect from the field to major offices.
