Pros

Pays better than the average for Florida. The benefits are very good as well, & facilities are very nice. Mostly very talented & smart people.

Cons

Poor leadership among several people in the Director, VP, & Division President level. This results in chaos & lack of performing the fundamentals & drives an excessive micro management culture. This lots of low to no value added work, & causes extra costs from vendors due to extra reports required / requested. Constant drive to cut costs, but increased demands for extra reports. This puts more work on people left at the company & reduces their work life balance. Lack of a vision then the execution needed to deliver it. This is a huge issue at the VP & Directors and causes chaos among the managers, Leads, etc. to chase lots of incorrect goals & perform lots of excessive rework. For a company lead my an ex-GE executive one would believe the company would embrace Lean Six Sigma & Six Sigma. However, if you see inside & see all the rework one would conclude the company says "they do", but reality is do to poor leaders (who are in roles 1 to 3 levels higher than they should be in) causes people to change proceesses frequently & do excessive rework. Lastly, an abusive / bullying culture. Several leaders in Senior leadership roles are bully's & tend to be abusive of people that achieve the results to allow them to receive their EXCESSIVE Pay packages.

Pros

The company offers a strong and comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision insurance, life insurance, a 7% 401(k) match, and a pension plan. Employees also have access to valuable training, opportunities for career advancement, and the ability to earn additional income through overtime. Annual salary increases and performance bonuses further strengthen the overall compensation package. The organization also maintains a strong commitment to workplace safety.

Cons

As with any energy-production company, there is constant pressure to return equipment to service as quickly as possible. The frustration comes from being expected to complete numerous administrative and procedural requirements, including documenting ancillary tasks and circle-slashing every applicable procedure, while still maintaining top efficiency. Employees are also expected to keep up with a demanding maintenance schedule, restore downed turbines quickly, and manage the workload despite ongoing staffing shortages. These competing priorities make it extremely challenging to maintain a healthy work-life balance, and burnout occurs frequently as employees struggle to meet the company’s expectations safely and thoroughly.
