Pros

The people at the site are really good to work with. Unfortunately the general feeling is, "We're all getting shafted from above, so let's at least get through this together."

Cons

Salary, especially those lower in the tech ladder levels, is very poor. Rule by fear is generally how employees are managed.

Pros

Decent pay and benefits although not equitable within the company. Finally moving forward after emergence from bankruptcy. Management talks about becoming a world class organization although some of their decisions don't line up with that vision.

Cons

There is still a lot of uncertainty and transition going on. Pay structure does not line up with the hours expected to work. There is no work life balance.
