Pros

People seem genuinely committed to a common success. Mostly supportive, friendly at least outwardly. A general willingness to share teach others what they know. I don't see a lot of "I'm in it for me".

Cons

Seems that the best choices have not been made for movement of key leaders into management positions, leading to low morale and apathy in the office. Not a direct correlation between demonstrated performance and opportunities presented (or denied).

Pros

Very dedicated to its employees. Great salary and benefits. Strong focus on safety, both in the workplace and in one's personal life. Outstanding communication with workers. Does not sacrifice the well being of its people to low bid contracts for the sake of winning. Highly ethical, professional, and very astute management and leadership.

Cons

Oversight of employees a bit too intense, bordering on intrusive. This is the only thing I can fault them for.
