Pros

the pay is very good for this area and the benefits are also good. the workers for the most part are good hard working people

Cons

you are on call all the time. they expect you to work 80 plus hours a week. communication between management and operators is non existant. workers are not giving good evaluations even when they are excellent workers and make outragous profits for 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!
