Pros

Company Car + gas card + insurance + travel expenses means you can save a lot of money in a year. Those are the perks, and they're pretty big perks. Plenty of overtime whether you are interested in it or not.

Cons

Travel 2 weeks at a time pretty constantly from August to May. Company charges time and a half or double time for your overtime, but you get paid straight time, so there's a big incentive for them to push extra loads of work on you, but little incentive for you to do it. Work consists of sitting in coal power plants and working on computers, which means a tough job for anyone with allergies or can't sit in uncomfortable chairs for long periods of time.

Pros

Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.

Cons

(1) RIF based on tenure, not performance. HR is too powerful a department, and everyone fears it. (2) Tenure made you lazy, killed creativity, initiative, and promoted a "yes" culture. (3) During COVID layoffs, CEO pay went from $3.7 million to $15.x million, while employees endured 25% furloughs for 3 months, and management 10% reduction in pay for 6 months - explain how that is reasonable. (4) CEO declared DEI as the way forward for career mobility, and a lot of young, promising talent walked out the door, including DEI-qualified minorities. (5) I was one of those minorities.
