Pros

Coworkers are all good people that care about each other at the local levels. Benefits are good time off is ok.

Cons

Pay has not kept up with inflation for years. They waste millions of dollars on nonsense. Yet make you feel like they have no money to give decent raises. Micro managing your every movement. Putting trackers on everything making you feel like you can't even go to the restroom without being questioned on what you were doing for that time gap. you feel like you are just a number. They preach work/personal time is a top priority but their actions say the complete opposite.

Pros

Great benefits. Affordable health insurance

Cons

Stagnant growth. They only focus on leadership development or licensed trades. Growth is based on friendships. Skills and experience don’t mean much.
