Pros

Great compensation and focus on safety. Industry leader is safety and technology. There is a the opportunity for advancement in a number of fields and also the company invest in being a industry leader. Company Car and high salary plus bonus.

Cons

Too much of a "good ol boy" culture. Company makes attempts to become diversified but it is truly a lacking point. Union labor tends to be negative and older managements will cater to them in fear of retaliation sometimes. Often felt like an outsider where a few documented race based incidents reported to HR along with claims of ageism. Always felt like i was being watched by middle management and older labor who told me themselves that where moved to my location to watch over development. Hiring additional labor always seemed to move slow and it was frowned upon to look outside out district for help or resources. If you did the possibility of being scolded was real. High stress constant environment seems to wear everyone thin from the top down and it always trickles.

Pros

Ok pay, insurance and retirement. PTO is very good.

Cons

Yearly raises are the bare minimum. Diesel techs required to take care of parts, scheduling, deliveries, etc with little to no support from management or anyone else. Complete lack of communication from anyone from branch manager up. Not much place for a mechanic to move forward in their career.
