Pros

It is a great example of the results of bad housekeeping. It is surrounded by the great town of Colstrip which is very family friendly. Free town gym and golf course.

Cons

Talen already bailing out of Montana. So lacking in desire to correctly run the place that a unit outage is cancelled this year. That doesn't bode well for the safety of the IBEW 1638 members, not well at all. Outages are scheduled for very good reasons.

Pros

Smaller feel, good for prioritizing family and life outside of work. Not too competitive between co-workers. Great collaborative culture.

Cons

On the smaller side means less opportunities and more waiting for roles to open up and advance. I saw a lot of people leave for better opportunities.

Pros

Good opportunity to make good money through constantly available overtime.

Cons

12-hour swing shift leads to abysmal work/life balance.
