Pros

The pay package is low for the industry, but there are good long-term incentives to stay with the company. The people are generally professional in what is often a very unprofessional industry. The projects are often high profile and the company does top notch work, which is something to be proud of. The company pays for reimbursement for various expenses including car. Frequent training and feedback are also a plus. The company has a commitment to safety which is appreciated by all employees.

Cons

The hours are long and you do not have much choice regarding which projects you will be assigned to. The pay is not great compared to the industry average.
