Terracon Employee Reviews for Field Technician

"I've worked for Terracon (formerly Earth Exploration, Inc.) for over 2 years now. The company itself places a high value on safety on and off the job. The benefits are decent. The downside is that work can inconsistent and depending on your location the quality of leadership can vary as well."

"Awful company to work for. You will be stretched to your breaking point with too many hours in the summer and then laid off or cut to 20 hrs/week in the winter. Your salary will be below average and your raises will not match cost-of-living hikes. No work truck to take home (unlike their competitors). If your chargeability drops below 85%, you will be let go. Holidays, vacation, sick days, skill-improvement time all count AGAINST your chargeability. Company vehicles outfitted with GPS devices that screech when you break traffic rules. Benefit package is decent (best thing about the company) but taking your vacation days will lead to you being let go. It might work for a single person, with below-average skills and below-average expectations, but for anyone with self-respect, Terracon will be a disappointment."
