Terracon Geotechnique Ltd Employer Reviews

My typical workday for this company was to create data reports all day everyday. I learned that they did not like tardiness and were expected to come to work sick. The owner of the company was friendly but the management was rude in the regard to mistakes. The hardest part of the job was to understand the hand writing of the technicians. The most enjoyable – more... part of the job was meeting new people. – less

Being new to this type of enviroment they tried to give me some training but could have spent more time trainging me.
