Pros

Pay is very good. On-site gym. They have an extreme effort to promote safety which often hinders productivity.

Cons

Archaic systems. Promotions to management or positions within company are not reflective of an individual's skills or knowledge. Often chaotic and knee-jerk management style. No employee training or skill development. Too much communication.
