By far, the best company I've ever worked for

Customer service representative -4

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Union representation, good pay, comfortable office, customer service oriented, plenty of sick days and vacation days. For someone who's not attempting to get into management, office politics are not an issue. A lot of time and money goes into its employees in potlucks and incentives for working safely. Even though advancement is mainly based on seniority so people who may not be best qualified for a position may get it, a lot of training and coaching is provided so employees are competent.

Cons

It's very easy to get too comfortable and settle in one position if you're not proactive. This isn't the company's fault but it does happen.
