Pros

Great pay, great training program, a lot of opportunity for growth. You will meet people from all over the world and have the opportunity to travel all over the world

Cons

They will work you until you drop. Expect to sleep in the back of pickups at dig sites you will likely be living at for days at a time.

Pros

If you like working 18-36 hour days for weeks at a time, while training green hats then this is your career. Good 401K plan and stock purchase plan. Good safety training and programs.

Cons

12 hour days minimum for sometimes 3-4 weeks at a time then only getting a day or two off before doing it all over again. In some cases they automatically take your vacation days away if you are not on a work site in between these long jobs. Pay has been cut 45% from previous years, all incentive bonuses were taken away. Vehicle allowances were reduced with talks of taking them completely away. And now health benefits were stripped to basics, as long as you dont need a doctor on this plan you are ok. Other cons you can not have alcohol while on the job as I said 3-4 weeks sometimes. You also don't get to see your family most of the time while on these jobs. ( Prior to this the benefits and the compensation made up for this but that is all gone now) I have been worked up to 53 hours with no sleep.
