Pros

Salary system is good and bonuses are very nice. Some positions allow for substantial autonomy. Overal a company that is very much dedicated to safety and reliability.

Cons

Autonomy can lead to boredom. Some jobs have supervisors so far removed that you end up with a lot of free time as a result of a job lacking difficulty.

Pros

People are wonderful. Unlimited growth potential and benefits are excellent. There are also plenty of opportunities to travel and an excellent bonus program.

Cons

Big emphasis on tenure rather than skills and talent. If working in their headquarters, there is a charge for parking in their garage.
