Pros

The pay is decent Safety is key Optional advancements when available Stable and steady work load (in-season)

Cons

-Terrible Health insurance (almost equivalent to NO INSURANCE). Hi deductibles, poor coverage. -Lack of proper management -Lafarge tries to implement "Courage to Care", but it's more about the money. They pretend to care about their employees but they only care about the top dollar. It's no secret, if we can get a dangerous job done safely in 5 days versus 4 days "unsafely", they would choose the 4 day method. - At times we have been forced to work 16-18 hours a day, then we would be expected to be back to work after only 3 hours off. -Machinery is minimal. (If one breaks down, forget about it) There is no back up plan.

Pros

Good pay. Interesting work. Culturally diverse. Wide range of possibilities to develop a career. Pending merger with Holcim will improve its financial health.

Cons

Company has lost many of its core values over past 10 years, too much emphasis on form over substance. More emphasis on reporting than doing.
