Pros

Good salaries for the area. You'll live well for the money you earn.

Cons

It's not what it used to be, even 10 years ago. Many employees are personally and emotionally invested in the nuclear facility, and are watching their baby be handed to contractors.

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.

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