It's good (depends on the group)

Systems engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay is good and there are training opportunities too. Extra straight-time pay during refueling outages is a nice pay boost.

Cons

The company is not very healthy, and the nuclear business outlook is poor. Required one week long on-call rotation once a month, outages are a pain, and if issues arise at the plant then you may get a call in the middle of the night or have to go into work at inconvenient times. The rules and expectations are can be dumb (childish). If you want to have a long-term career in an industry that isn't dying, and skills that are useful in other industries look else where.
