Pros

Decent pay, steady work. If you are in the club, you can get away with nearly anything.

Cons

Intimidation, bullying, mandatory 20-30 hours of overtime a week in most cases, clear separation between. Those who are favored and those who are not with upper management. Many friends and friends children are moved up very quickly in the ranks while those who have been here for years are locked into their less desirable job titles. Promotion is not based on merit or seniority unless convenient.

Pros

Talented and hardworking electricians, operators, mechanics, and plant personnel. Interesting automation and controls work with opportunities to solve challenging technical problems. Significant autonomy at the local level when responding to production issues. Good compensation and benefits. Corporate engineering resources are knowledgeable and generally willing to help.

Cons

Expectations and priorities frequently changed without corresponding adjustments to workload. Performance feedback lacked important operational context, such as competing priorities, project reassignment, and resource constraints. Communication tended to favor frequent meetings over clear written expectations. Accommodation requests and communication support were difficult to navigate and lacked a clear process. Single-engineer staffing model creates a challenging environment for vacations, medical appointments, training, and long-term sustainability. Heavy emphasis on immediate deliverables can make long-term engineering work and root-cause analysis difficult.
