Stretched thin and undervalued

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits and affordable options with 6% match on 401k

Cons

Decisions at the corporate level seem reactionary to whatever feedback is most critical at any given moment. Ebb and flow of decision trees made at higher levels contradict past priorities depending on the what is going worse for the company on paper at that time. Safety, budget, constraints, lack of reliability etc. The focus of what is most important changes from year to year and can feel like upper level corporate couldn't manage a hot dog stand as far as seeing what's coming.

Amazing Job Security v. Poor Work/Life Balance

Instructor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Employee safety is a priority The job security is top-notch The upward mobility for promotions is excellent* The company will train workers in-house to allow them to move to other positions. The benefits are decent. Many positions pay well enough for one person to support their family.**

Cons

*(see above upward-mobility issues) Senior leadership often refuses to accept that retention/turnover is a major issue stressing out employees, and when they do they don't accept that they're a major part of the problem. **The pay is not competitive for the stress level compared to what equivalent companies pay. It is not only the rigor of Nuclear Power that you have to deal with, but the company cutting corners when it comes to employee management and work-life balance. Some locations are not ideal, resulting in long commutes. Many in senior leadership view remote-work as "taking a day off" and discourage it despite it being a company policy for many positions.

Pros

Comp & benefits package Only F500 company in NOLA area Hybrid and remote work options for some employees

Cons

Leadership can't get out of it's own way, claims to want culture change but doesn't take action to change anything within their organizations Work-life balance is awful, expectation is that you are always available...even though Leadership will state otherwise.
