Labourer (Former Employee), Greater Toronto Area, ON – January 20, 2013
Cons: long hours and little pay.
They do not treat people well in this business. The pay was never great. The only reason I stayed in it was there was a bad economy. This was not a rewarding adventure. the economy was poor and no-body would teach you anything as they were always in fear of you taking there job.

Pros: nothing is free here, even lunch any way
Cons: hardly none in this place
* A typical day commences from 8.00am till 6.00pm, with meetings in between most of the time especially on Mondays * You learn how to deal with different individuals with different backgrounds * The management is a one man show on whose table all the bucks stop in the company * The fellow workers are wanderful and cooperate in the work place *The hardest – more... part of the job is when you are told to go ahead and execute some issues / challenges you are not in full support of, but you have to because it is a Management decision * The most enjoyable part is when you see your project from inception to completion – less
site and planning enbgineer (Current Employee), kudathini bellary karnataka – March 3, 2013
Cons: i had worked 24 hours when ever required
i had worked sincearly in the previous company i learned how to improve our company products good communication with management i had freely approach with co workers
Cons: away from family and friends, unpredictable management and logistical problems, no job security
In my opinion this was also one of my favorite jobs. I chased hurricanes around the Caribbean doing the reconstruction after every natural disaster. Extremely challenging as you be dealing with many different cultural differences. For me this job was extremely satisfying because you're making a difference in people's lives after a major disaster. The – more... hardest part is the job was that it was addicting. You always look for another hurricane year after year. Before you know it you have been gone from home for up to six years and you would not even realize. – less
