Pros

Good place to work. Strong commitment to Safety. Good staff .retention

At times within company Safety commitment appears to have been adopted for career enhancement rather than actual betterment of standards which waters down message and actual company commitment. Failure to secure contracts with long term clients means staff relocation required. AWG and SW.
