Pros

The people are nice and easy to work with. The benefits, pay, and holidays are all pretty good......especially these days. Bonuses are usually given annually if metrics are met and the annual raise is pretty standard. Safety seems to be important to them and they really have a vision for where they are going in the industry.

Cons

Some departments are better than others when it comes to managers. Most seem to be pretty good or at least tolerable but this is left to interpretation. There are a lot of people who have been there for decades. This is good because they have a lot of knowledge to pass on. On the other hand, it is bad! They are behind the times when it comes to doing things and are inflexible when introducing change. You have A LOT of "this is how it has always been done". Their processes could be significantly more efficient if everyone was trained better.

Pros

The company does have an excellent pension program, only thing is you have to spend 25 years there for it to be worth it!!! Other than that nothing really !!!

Cons

Management is terrible, I worked in electrical department at the power plants. Everyone in that department hates each other and comes in to work bitter every morning because they hate their job so much , but actually make a decent salary and aren't skilled in anything else so have to put up with it. Most employees in that department started off a custodians and were given the chance to work in the electrical department as a move up, but actually have no interest in learning the job, just took the spot because it paid better. And the other group which has been working there 10 to 20 years has lasted because of union protection, but can't tell you where a motor that they have passed by for the last 20 years is even fed from. The time I spent there, I was miserable and kept trying to convince myself that despite all the negatives it could be a good place to work , I just had to put in my dues, but to be perfectly honest, I felt the time I spent there, I actually got dumber!!! COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME. Do yourself a favor and keep on looking!!!
