No progression aspects,but a life changing experience
Linesman (Former Employee), UK – June 11, 2013
Pros: great life experience, good money
Cons: no career opportunities
The typical day varied as i covered all aspects as a linesman.

The hardest part was mixing family life with work schedule, but lucky for me i had an understanding family.

The most enjoyable was being 120ft in the air dangling from a 400kV transmission line.

Not very organized and very few chances for advancement.
Procuring Agent (Current Employee), Fort Gordon GA – December 12, 2012
Pros: free lunches, great management
Cons: no chances for advancement
A typical day of work at Balfour Beatty is coming in and taking care of problems that came up over night and cleaning up whatever the oncall technitian left behind. In the three years I have been employed here I learned lots of computer programs, technical info., and maintainence experiance. My co-workers work hard but take alot of advantages for granted – more... instead of respecting them. Hardest part of my job is keeping items in stock due to our purchasing system and approval proccess. Solving problems fast,effectively with the best possible idea. – less

productive and pleasant place to work
SCO Coordinator (Former Employee), Worsley – December 23, 2012
Pros: free fruit and kitchen facilities
summary says it all, Very busy from dad to day I was self taught on all areas with little guidance. Management were there for you every day if needed they have an open door policy. I believe that this is a good thing and their support in your choices are strong as they encourage this. Every employee is friendly even though it gets very busy. The hardest – more... part of the job was to make hard choices. and the most enjoyable part was the job its self. – less
