Pros

Pension and 401k plans and matching by the company. Some employees What we do protects and saves many

Cons

The division of the facilities department is ridiculous. Each site is different and should be treated that way. The management structure is too top heavy and methods are so conveluted it keeps the ground level people from doing there job. Tech levels and structure doesn't exist and when you ask about moving up and what to do to get there they don't have an answer. Training budget is non existent and the budget hey do have is for the entire company. Training is required to stay current and maintain license but without a budget for non-management nothing to do.

Pros

Great company to work for depending on your department. Rapid growth constantly makes new opportunities available. Great work/life balance and very little micromanaging. Competitive salaries and regular compensation increases, including yearly bonuses. Great retirement plan and one of a few remaining companies that still offer a pension.

Cons

Constantly shifting management makes it tough to build a rapport. High expectations and heavy regulations make for very random spikes in workload and increased stress at times.
