Pros

great fellow engineers that want to get work done , instead of being in meetings 25 hours a week

Cons

managers are too worried about hitting arbitrary cost savings and sustainability goals, rather than quality of work as of 2019 horribly understaffed...expect to work 60+ hour weeks

Pros

They pay well, but they think that's all that matters.

Cons

Say goodbye to your family, you won't see them while you work here. Supervisors are hired based off how well they brown-nose. Engineers refuse to find actual issues and just blame operators. HR is an absolute joke and tell victims of sexual harassment to get therapy instead of firing the offender. Supervisors that ruin the departments they're in charge of are promoted. Absolute trash, completely toxic, and just plain stupid. If corporate wanted to see progress at this plant, they would fire all higher ups and get people actually qualified for the positions in here. You only get promoted or given interviews based on how long you've worked at the plant. Supervisors, managers, engineers, etc. are never held accountable as long as they blame someone else. And if you work on night crew, you aren't even considered human. 3rd shift is treated as 3rd class.
