      Pros

      Niche industry, job stability if you can perform well. The compensation while not the best is acceptable. Its a good starting point to build a career.

      Cons

      Entrenched middle management makes it very hard for entry level supervisors to get comfortable in their roles. Fact that most managers are currently dues paying members and have the craft to fall back if they get fired means the level of accountability is very low and not consistent.

      Pros

      I enjoy working for this particular compnay. I find the newer generation does not remember their fathers and or grandfathers and how hard they worked. This new liberal apeasement towards time-off is greatly overrated. I have been fortunate to have worked for this company, which has compensated me enough, to allow my wife to stay home with my children. I believe some of our spoiled personnel have determined they need to have their cake and eat it too.

      Cons

      Management on the First-Line area is something to be desired. We desperately need to be more proactive in choosing perspective managers. Although this company is in no comparison to the military (which I am proud to have been a member) the potential for a life threatning incident is much more greater, let's say than being a politician
