Pros
Westinghouse offers a good starting pay to new grads. The work environment is relaxed and generally enjoyable. The nuclear industry is quickly growing and not showing signs of being hurt by the recession. New hires start with 16 vacation days.
Cons
The raise schedule may not be up to par. Experienced hires receive work much quicker than new grads, along with much higher pay, although their experience may not even be relevant to their position. I find myself being much more competent than some experienced hires as the line of work is somewhat unique and requires training for anyone coming from another company. Most work simply requires becoming proficient in certain software packages and with company policies and procedures. Benefits are no where near as good as those offered by other engineering companies. Health plans offered are sub-par, and 401k match is only 50% of contributions.
