Pros

As a new employee, many of the people I've met are very welcoming and helpful. By the nature of my position, I come in contact with quite a few employees scattered over the different operation plants, field crews, and technicians. Due to the inherent hazards faced in this industry, everyone understands and places a true value on safety and is dedicated to performing their job as safely as they can. That type of work culture really makes a difference.

Cons

Communication across a mountainous and difficult terrain. Solutions are being worked on.

Free breakfast PTO buy for an additional week off

Unable to work remotely. Compensation and promotional opportunities are highly dependent upon likeability not performance.
