Pros

Retirement – If you can make it the retirement can be well above average. Strong embrace of diversity.

Cons

Promotions are based largely on cronyism. If you don’t have someone to promote you, your career will stagnate. End of the year compensation is not based on objective measures but rather on your relationship with and what you are willing to keep your mouth shut about. Ethics- the company has a way of putting lip stick on a pig when it comes to ethics. They will do whatever it takes to protect the chosen employees and their lack of ethics (eg- cutting corners on safety- production overall, covering up incidents, and the toxic work environment. This creates a wild west mentality in which decisions are made to enhance the upward mobility of individuals careers for some while others lower employees in the organization will take the blame. Lack of senior management accountability- It is a very kiss up beat down environment.

Pros

Good money, lots of responsibility.

Cons

Schedule was (6) 12-14 hour shifts a week during the night. Your day off is only used for rest. Time off was not easy to get.
