Pros

I adore working here. I’ve been here over a year now, and I can’t believe I almost didn’t accept the job due to the reviews I saw here. Pros: Positive environment Incredible training program Supportive management Consistent recognition Continuous learning Lots of opportunity to advance

Cons

Flex schedule However I will say it’s an 8 week rotation and you work the same schedule for a full week.

Pros

The compensation packages are highly competitive, with the pension being a significant value add for those seeking a career. Despite having over 2,000 employees, the company maintains a small-company feel, where most employees are on a first-name basis.

Cons

Most tools and technology are outdated and inefficient for work. While the overall culture is friendly and helpful, it seems to lack performance-based factors that drive operational success. This results in a slow-moving ship resistant to change and new ideas.
