Pros

I had great opportunities to work with many smart people from various departments and levels, and I had a good salary and benefit overall. I liked their safety culture. We started our meetings with a discussion about safety, which is a good idea for any industries. Especially on Friday, if you need to commute for a long distance, you are allowed to work from home and you are encouraged to use public transportation, as they place high value on environmental protection.

Cons

I think it is very unfortunate that they had to lay off so many good employees.

Pros

Decent pay for the work that we are required to do, and some advancement potential, but not a lot. But would like to be challenged.

Cons

Not so good place if you are not with the "in crowd" as there is a lot of favoritism that goes on here unfortunately. No recognition ever unless you have an incident then you're on everyone's radar.

Pros

Good Salary. Good Benefits. Seven on, seven off is great but not always seven off. Overtime is available in most supervisory positions.

Cons

Constant state of turmoil. Wrong people in wrong positions. High turnover in Manager and Superintendant positions. The incentive program leaves much to be desired.
