Business Outlook

Pros

Worked at BPA for 36+ years without missing one paycheck. Okay salary and benefits. Work can be challenging. BPA generally provides good training.

Cons

Top heavy with overpaid high executives. The engineers are underpaid and overworked. There is a glass ceiling for engineers who want to do engineering work. Engineers, especially those in the field are undervalued. Despite overhaul, HR is still inefficient and incompetent.
