Thank you for your comments and review! We believe our employees are the best in the business and are happy you feel well-compensated for your hard work. While diversity and inclusion are important parts of our ongoing journey, we carefully select the most qualified person for each job opening. We encourage an open, respectful dialogue surrounding our I&D efforts and encourage you to contact your HRBP if you ever have any questions or concerns. We strive to offer great benefits to our employees and routinely evaluate how we can provide even better offerings to our employees. We are making plans to offer a choice of two high-deductible plans and two low-deductible plans for medical insurance in hopes our employees will be able to select exactly what meets their needs.

Pros

Smaller company feel comparied to some of the majors where you're lost in the numbers yet still large enough for good security and a fair benefit's program.

Cons

The budget and schedule is like nothing I've ever seen, but I get it. Flexability in labor costs is key to market viability, that means schedules are changing based on orders, and those are continually changing.
