Pros

You are going to be paid a good salary and have major over time. The benefits that are offered are also very good, but somewhat costly for a family policy.

Cons

You are a number, plain and simple, with no opportunity for advancement. A management position opened up and an internal applicant existed. The position went to an outside applicant with similar experience but no college degree, where the internal applicant had a baccalaureate degree in civil engineering. The new manager would state to the employees they would not be advancing beyond there present position.

Pros

Overall, it’s a really good company—probably some of the best benefits in the industry, and that’s one of the main reasons I chose to work here.

Cons

My advice to anyone considering it: be careful about the promises you’re made during the hiring process. Make sure everything is put in writing, and make sure it’s exact—your position, job description, responsibilities, and what is expected of you. Things can change. If the person who hired you leaves or moves on, the person who replaces them may see things differently and change everything. That can include doing away with the position you were hired for and moving you into a completely different role—one you may have never left your previous job to take in the first place.
