Terracon Environment Employee Reviews

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

The freedom to make the environment what we want it to be.

everyone cares and is working with the same goal and values

Care and concern with focus on innovation

Our company culture is very inclusive, ensuring everyone has a voice and is valued.

Review from Engineering Dept

Unwavering focus on our people

The technical staff is great

Review from Engineering Dept

Corporate assistance is positive and helpful

We all understand that consulting can be difficult due to the variable hours and fast pace. We strive to give breaks, take turns, and distribute work loads to keep anyone from getting overwhelmed. People seem eager to help each other.

Our culture of care and concern runs deep at Terracon

Everybody seems to work pretty well with each other.

My immediate office is excellent, a lot of the other offices seem to be a bit of a shit show. Its hit or miss. The corporate part of the company is pretty disconnected from what the majoirty of the company actually is, and has usually made most of my normal tasks more difficult to complete

You work in the field and can avoid office politics.

Even in the hardest of times, we know that there is an entire family of employee-owners there to support us and in the best of times celebrate us.

people enjoy helping each other with projects

Review from Engineering Dept

Nearly all offer help and pitch in

Safety and care and concern

The promotion of safety to all who work with and at Terracon.

Most of the employees came over from another company so most of us knew each other prior to starting the job.

Safety is the top priority. You are never expected to do anything you feel unsafe about.

Review from Engineering Dept

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Communication! They are also so regimented that it doesn't allow for innovation.

A change in Supervision with experience

New leadership and business model.
