Pros

Easy job, work in a office, make connections

Cons

They will add more workload to you but will not give you a raise. The excuse will always be “I’ll speak to leadership” but the raise will not arrive after months of waiting. When you press the issue, they let you go. The actual manager isn’t great but the one right under her “Amy” is fantastic. She is the sole reason my experience there was somewhat okay. Also, they will not train you but Amy will walk you through anything you need help with. On top of not training you - they’ll complain if you aren’t catching on fast enough

Pros

Good opportunity to work on process control. Some genuine and smart people.

Cons

Most work is reschedule due to operation scheduling and permits. Reviews are based on productivity, which when rescheduled work is completely out of your hands.
