Plant Life can be rough

Pros

Salary is decent for the work being done. The work isn't overly complicated and there are a lot of great people at the site.

Cons

Salaried employees get taken advantage of, especially engineers. You never get overtime or comp time except in the refueling outage, which is to be expected at a plant. However, if you have a light week, you still have to log a minimum of 40 hours that week. Anytime the plant trips, you come in, so quality of life is terrible. Also, you will only get 2 weeks of vacation a year for the first 6 years. If you plan on getting promoted early, just be aware that you will get the title, just dont expect the raise to be based off merit, it's based off time. Wouldn't be a problem except the site constantly reaffirms that promotions are based off merit.

The job has flexible hours wjich provides a great schedule. The pay is good because of mileage and annual bonuses.

There is an internal problem with operations. You will manage e every job from beginning to end. The job is not for those who are not go-getters.

Pros

The people. My coworkers were incredible. The management was kind of a mixed bag, but I was lucky enough to have had very good direct management that handled any issues very quickly and ensured that it was to the satisfaction of all those involved.

Cons

Entergy has been pulling away from the North for a long time and while I understand it is a business and they need to make money - it is still frustrating and painful to have to leave jobs your love because they continue to shut down their plants in the North.
