Pros

Decent bonus, good holiday pay.

Cons

Lack of internal controls. No follow up with concerns to HR. Senior management does not engage with employees during normal business or at social functions, moral is very low. Employees are just a number. Preferencial treatment given to men. Most women are not valued and very few are in management positions. There is absolutely no flexibility. Professional Salaried Positions are treated like hourly employees and lots of micro managing in the office. Poor working environment. No tuition assistance.

Pros

Cook with decent food and environment and time off

Cons

You will live off of naps while on square watch and often be expected to work more than your 12 hour shift up to a max of 15 hours a day. No lightning stand down policy makes storm work very dangerous. This company has the toughest work, one of the lowest pay, and also the highest rates of negligence and accidents. Constantly cutting corners to safe money and putting lives at risk. Just look at the public accidents and incidents over the last 15 years and you’ll get about 40% of the picture since most do not get reported or talked about per Marquette tradition.
