Pros

Good benefits and a pension plan.

Cons

There are so many long-term employees, many married couples, many extended family members, and they are the only ones who get promotions. Very much a who you know environment.

Pros

Puts food on the table. Seeing other reviews with high ratings makes me wish I could stuff my head in the sand too. But...

Cons

HR is an absolute joke in the role they play for the company. If you're looking to apply or interview, don't instill trust in HR and be ready to be jerked around. The company hands an embarrassing amount of power to HR, who is very blind to real work that takes place. There are a lot of big ego's, empty promises/commitments, lies to the public, and generally a lack of integrity. If you're looking to become a term/temp employee; it will most likely not turn into a permanent position regardless of good work or sacrifices you make for the company. The company is extremely fat in the regard of wasted time and resources. More effort is taken to talk about being lean but literally nothing truly done. Spend $100K to save $1. Their seemingly good stewardship to the public and environment is not because they want to, it is because they are mandated to by the federal government. I won't dog on them anymore...
