Pros

Upward mobility- nearly every corporate position is held by someone who started at the bottom of the company and actually knows how to do your job. Great culture- Safety and integrity are taken very seriously. Strong backing- if you can explain your needs well, there is a large amount of financial support available.

Cons

Part of the nature of this industry is that the hours can go a bit on the long side, nothing like the oil field, though. I suppose the servant leadership model can be tough for some people, but I appreciate it. However, there can be points where the buck stops and you are held accountable from above and below, if that makes sense.

Pros

Not many pros. Can’t think of any. People were nice at first but then they all got fired around me. Replaced countlessly.

Cons

If you are not part of “The Foot Hills” then you are already on your way out the door. This is a mafia within the company that lie to the cooperate level employees about wrecks, etc. if you aren’t part of the club and you tell cooperate the truth you get the boot.
