Pros

Opportunity to develop ones skills and hone your experience.

Cons

Staff are our greatest asset is a misnomer and downright misleading. I have seen people relieved from their posts by leads and management who are more incompetent than the person fired. Fly the politically correct false flags for safety, environment and caring for the community: a total crock of the proverbial.

Pros

Some hard working, intelligent people.

Cons

Their are no standards for behavior or work ethic. They hire the cheapest people, won't train them and don't have any quality controls to make sure work is being done correctly or at all. Very stingy with resources. Do not value people.
