Good for starting a career, but lacks benefits - Recensione dipendente - Geotechnical Designer presso Earth Engineering

Perfect opportunity for graduates in geology/environmental field to get experience right after college. Senior management is very knowledgeable and is always available to help you out if you have any questions. Dynamic work environment.

In the summer the hours can be long, but management does their best to make sure you can take time off when you can.

No pros. They prey on fresh college graduates, and put them in a field they have no business being in. This is basically a glorified construction job where they give you benefits. I guess the only pro is you do get benefits but that’s about it. You could slightly call it a resume builder but it’s not. The “skills” you learn here don’t help you unless you want to be a professional concrete tester. Your own peers and 2 of the supervisors are the only pros but you will never see them, you will always be on site.

-no support from supervisors -required to use personal vehicle -mile reimbursement is .50 cents per mile- .20 cents below the current rate -salary is 19.48 an hour -expected to work overtime, weekends, overnight -understaffed (intentionally to keep cost down) -poor training -work with antiquated testing methods (nuclear) -98% on site -encouraged (coerced) to use PTO on rainy days or quasi holidays -physical strain -once again- personal vehicle (this is NOT industry standard) -no career growth -deter people from moving up -NOT A SCIENCE ROLE!!!!!!
