Pros

Good pay and benefits compared to other employers in the area.

Cons

Understaffing results in excessive OT. The sites are centrally managed by the COO. Local site managers are not allowed to make decisions without consulting the COO. Each site must be staffed to standardized levels regardless of plant design. Currently, my site is staffed with approx. one half the number of emplyees that worked at the site 10 years ago. The need for employees is critical. There is little opportunity to move from 1 department to another. The shortage of employees results in higher responsibility positions being filled from outside the company to retain licensed employees in positions that require licenses. This means SROs can't move up because there are not enough SROs to allow it.

Pros

The People are very respectful, VY is an excellant plant, runs well, and great teamwork from all departments.

Cons

Middle Managment is so nice that at times when they need to take a hard line, they usually do not. The State of Vermonts government is essentially so inbred it would cut off its own nose to spite its face, it will drive anyone crazy.
