      Pros

      The union staff was down to earth. The older guys do their work and can joke with you, too. I still see the guys on the street, in the trucks, working in the hole and I will say hello. Again great people. The management on the other hand ........ see below

      Cons

      Navigating the management, supervisors, directors, VPs, etc members of the company (yes I was a part of that description) is where things got tricky. It requires sucking up to fit in. Noooo thank you. There are people who should have been promoted that didn't. There are people in roles that you wonder "how'd they get that job?" There are many people who left the company because they never got the promotion they deserved.

      Pros

      Benefits. In-house schooling for skills. Raises every 6 months and a Union contract raise every May for Field Service Department. Plenty of OT. Choice of Pension or a 401(B) with a 457 plan. Union, provides decent pay and protection

      Cons

      Shift work. Low entry-level pay that is unattractive to recruit skilled workers. It takes almost 8 years for top rate. Uneducated managers in key high level positions(HS Diploma) that climbed ranks through years of service and time in positions. Union, provides protection for bums and seniority.
