Pros

Fast paced work environment. As an intern you can learn as much as you are willing to take on. Good pay for an intern. Could work as many hours as I wanted over 40 as long as I was doing meaningful work.

Cons

As an intern, none. From what I saw with engineers, you could be uprooted with little notice. Bonuses depend on the overall company, not your individual project. No work life balance. This is a lifestyle. If you're looking for 40hr/week, this is not the company for you.

Pros

Can make decent money. Can develop good relationships with coworkers, good safety program, fair compensation and benefits. Some good managers

Cons

Very corporate run! Very scared of retaliation hope this is really anonymous. Micro manages big time, back stabbers, don’t trust supervisors to do there job, accuse people of things make them feel like crap and even when they find out it was a mistake don’t even acknowledge it. Certain people are persecuted for simple mistakes while others get a free pass, big time favortisism!!!! Way top heavy everyone thinks there a boss and real management let’s them continue the behavior, and creates a very bad place to work. Don’t even think about having your own opinions your told what to say and even what to think a very dictatorship style of management!
