Pros
The pay is good and despite the slow erosion of benefits they are still good.
Cons
The company attempts to implement various new safety, productivity, efficiency, and disciplinary standards with little to no success with too much frequency. Too many programs have been tried without addressing the root cause of issues faced by labor. Management turn over has gone from bad to worse with each successive change becoming a new nightmare. Utilizing employees creativity in finding solutions has completely stopped and innovation is stifled. Too many protections for problem employees (often with higher seniority) have led to significant losses of skilled trade knowledge. The company has drifted far from the days when family values extended into the workplace. Workplace harassment is swiftly brushed aside or ignored altogether. There are so many unaddressed complaints about bad processes, safety in the yard, contractor immunity, and government regulation violations it is innumerable. I fear for my health and safety by continuing to work for this company. The measure by which certain departments are deemed productive uses false and inapplicable points of productivity.
