Pros

There is an ESOP - employer contribution is about 3 percent match Nationwide work Not just one sector of work

Cons

If you want to leave before 5 years is up you do not get all of your ESOP There is a lot of favoritism and not really corporate structure to how people get paid. ie the guy at the desk next to you might know a lot less and do a lot less and show up for the company a lot less and you'll still get paid the same or less than him regardless of credentials or how hard you work or who you ask about it - which maybe a lot of these larger firms are that way - however that promotes you leaving the company to get better pay and potentially never circle back to Terracon at all No residential work so there is a missing sector for experience
