Job Security
Office (Former Employee), Kansas City –
Pros: no pros whatsoever.
Cons: benefits suck.
This company will keep you until you are over 50 years old and make a half decent salary and then terminate you and say it is the economy. Management does not know how to manage and follow through if any problems arise. Things never change.

Managers don't care about you or your career development
engineer (Former Employee), kansas –
Pros: fair health plan
Cons: the lack of career development and assistance
This company will hire you and work you until you can't give any more then they will discard you. They want you to work 50 hours a week and only pay you for 40. You are expected to pay your own travel expenses and then get reimbursed. If you need training, you pay it too.

Managers don't try to develop your career as you are needed to work as many hours – more...  as possible to increase profits and revenues. – less

Awesome benefits!!! That's it...
Former Technician (Former Employee), Columbia, MO –
Terracon has no family values... If you have a family you must travel for 30 hours a week after 6 years with the company but if you have a band and a dog and have been employed for 10 months you can stay home and work 60 hours. I actually enjoyed working for Terracon but they don't want to keep techs after 5 years because they don't want to compensate – more...  upper level techs so they cut hours to get you to quit... 3 out of 6 techs were forced to get second jobs in CoMo and we were senior level techs. We aren't with Terracon anymore chose to find greener pastures... – less

Dont care about employees, but who does?
Tech V (Former Employee), West Coast –
This was a rewarding place to work for a while. They ask for things you cant do and make you tell them you cant be available then fire you. Gay!

Engineer (Current Employee), Kansas –
Terracon will advertise for managerial positions where there are no positions. They do this to find quality candidates.
