Pros

Good pay, good people (for the most part) and pretty good work/life balance. Dental and vision benifits are fairly good

Cons

Poor communication between operations, management and tech staff. Takes way too long for newer operators to get operatirs pay. No way to move within the company where a persons skill set or education can be used the best. Very political. Health insurance is a joke. The operations people get taken advantage of while the upper management get very good bonuses, very good! Very low morale

Pros

Friendly, helpful colleagues. Vast variety of opportunities for engineers, especially younger ones. Actively supporting the communities where we live and work. Recent changes in management have restored positive outlook.

Cons

A lot of eggs are in the circular-economy basket rather than having the risk more evenly distributed among our product streams. We've lost a lot of talent recently to other businesses, partly because of unhappiness with former management but partly because of pay. Annual pay increases exist but have not even come close to keeping up with inflation.
