Pros

Good benefits and decent pay. Probably lower pay than surrounding plants.

Cons

Constant change in management, now acquisition has everyone concerned. Won't spend any money, just run to fail mentality.

Pros

Health care benefits are pretty darn good?

Cons

This is what happens you run a company without a soul. Calpine is not a company that lives by the same values that it pushes down our throats.
