Pros

Excellent health care coverage and paycheck is good. Company has a good retirement package and pays well if you want to work overtime.

Cons

Management doesn't listen to employees. Had excessive overtime for 3 years (ran shorthanded). Forced employees to work and if they couldn't they were wrote up. Employees were made scapegoats to protect Management's mistakes. Safety is a secondary concern to money and budgets. Employees are not people but just a number.

Pros

Good benefits. Hard to get fired. Opportunities to learn if so inclined. Some great lower level people who make the place go. Find a manager and play the political game. You won’t have to work. Some employees have light workloads and can get away with not doing much

Cons

Upper management is disingenuous. HR takes the side of management in all matters. Political environment with cliques. Dysfunctional practices and an inability to hear feedback. Self defeating practices. They increased the amount of upper management by maybe 50% during Highleys tenure while cutting down on employees and benefits to cut rates which did not happen. No pension for new hires. Have lost numerous members due to exits and more have announced. They plan to supplement loss of members to serve data centers. Overall not a good recipe for success
