Pros

Pay structure is phenomenal, and there is plenty of opportunity to earn your way (through extensive travel). Corporate leadership seemed to always dip their fingers in periodically, checking on things. Very safety conscious culture, and it shows as their top priority. Lots of training available in digital libraries. My office was great, with mostly good people. Only ran into problems with folks from other, older offices.

Cons

Online training system falls flat, requiring a lot of self-direction from a new hire who won't know what is required of them. Preparing for a scheduled job that you are not the lead on is difficult, since most leads won't take the initiative to contact you first, or forward information. I got terminated over rumor and hearsay, because of a lack of interest in communication between offices (there was also a violation of disciplinary procedure involved there, too). If another office makes a complaint against you, no one seems to care what you have to say about it. A single vindictive crew lead from another office, who doesn't know you, will take you down by going over your bosses head. Never received a solid on boarding, with no briefing on company policies or goals. They have a tendency to just put you out there and expect you to know all the answers or questions to ask. Things have a tendency to get so busy, one doesn't have enough time to sit down and review the policy manual on their own.

We appreciate the honesty and candor. You are right, that safety is a high priority which has enabled us to become a VPP Star site. We're sorry though that you may have had some conflict with some others - we strive to have a great workforce company-wide that works well together. We'll take your thoughts to heart, and work to get better.

Pros

You can almost get away with anything, no structure. You can also get promoted with little qualifications if you play your cards with the right people

Cons

Same as above. Lack qualified leadership and they hire unqualified, immature people
