Pros

Dependable and strong company. Very few if any layoffs in the area. Mostlly great employees.

Cons

Heavy top-down management. "Good Ole Boys club" mentality from management. If you are tagged their "golden child" there is nothing you can do wrong. Bonuses for mangement but nothing for employees. Lot's of "yes" managers, not many with much backbone. People skills lacking in management. They don't hire from within very often so we lose many good people because they hire mostly outside the company.

Pros

Pay is good, especially on holidays! you get days off during the week and you work every other weekend

Cons

The schedule is hard, 12 hour days for 1 month then 12 hour nights then switch back. the environment is tough, the work load is heavy. not always the support you need to help you. favoritism, Management can be difficult, sink or swim type of culture, The testing is nearly impossible to get through. In the end you can do a great job in learning the job, if they don't want you, you will be replaced!
