Pros

Offer very good benefits and recognize the work-life balance is important. They respect your personal life and realize that things happen during work hours. They try to help improve careers and are willing to assist in the learning process. Safety is very key, sometimes overwhelming, but every personnel's safety, including contractors and visitors, is high priority. Rich culture environment with people from many different backgrounds and cultures.

Cons

Due to multiple sites being miles apart, communication and meetings suffer a bit. Some days feel like you're driving more than work. Most communication between sites is done via phone conference meetings which take away from meetings at times. Favoritism of different sites also exist among some managers. They are attempting to improve communication, but it still has a way to go.

Pros

Great pay and benefits. The schedule worked is typically 4 days on and 4 days off. However it is 2 weeks of days and two weeks of nights.

Cons

Typical Union VS management environment. Lots of favoritism to management favorites. The company changes out management rapidly. This causes changes to policy's and operation procedures on a continual basis. Also- you will always be tired due to the rotating shift schedule.
