Pros

Employee owned/stock options. Steady work, all across the 🇺🇸

Cons

Employee's don't get the treatment they deserve. Extremely physical job, and extremely dangerous. Always a fight to get raises, need to watch your checks closely. Tend to make errors in payroll. Way too many people in management! My boss has 6 bosses, and they all get profit sharing bonuses, much higher salerys, and don't do the hard work that makes this company $. This company keep growing, and the real working people seem to get less, and less every year. Insurance is a joke now, dedutables are so high, you basically dont have insurance unless something major happens. Training and safety has gotten worse over the years, the constant pressure from management to always make more $ every year seems to play a factor in that aspect. There really is no formal training, except for a couple of weeks long classes every couple of years, if your lucky. For a job that puts your life in danger every single day, you would think training would play more of a role.

Pros

Employee-owned company with strong industry recognition and long-term stability. There are talented people throughout the organization, and certain teams foster supportive working relationships. Fast-paced environment can provide valuable experience in operations, communication, and project coordination.

Cons

As with many large organizations, communication and visibility into decision-making can sometimes feel limited, which may create uncertainty around priorities or expectations. Onboarding experiences can vary depending on the team, and some employees may feel they are expected to become fully independent fairly quickly. The annual bonus structure could benefit from additional transparency and clearer communication around expectations and timelines. Career growth opportunities may also feel easier to navigate when employees have strong mentorship or leadership support within their department. In some areas of the organization, processes and approvals can move slowly, which may make implementing changes or new ideas more challenging than expected.
