Pros

Money is pretty good and so are the benifits

Cons

THEY OWN YOU. Work life balance is absolutely zero at this place. You will work day night day night night day. Who knows when. Dont ever plan anything in your life because you will probably get called to work at that time. When you get "two days off" it is only 48 hours. on the dot. The unions are worthless. Could be so much more to say. But I will never go back. After 3 years of working got laid off all of a sudden.

Pros

Great people and strong coworkers across the organization. The company offers competitive pay, strong benefits, and good overall stability. There are many experienced employees who care about the work and are willing to help others succeed.

Cons

The organization can be very hierarchical, which sometimes makes it difficult to drive change or move quickly. Decisions often require multiple layers of approval, so it can take longer than expected to finalize direction or make progress. There is also limited flexibility compared to what many other companies offer, especially when it comes to working arrangements.
