Pros

Benefits, Pay, On site food options

Cons

Strategy at the company has changed from a focus on the customer to a sole focus on profitability. Marketing and Sales, Supply, and HR lack any focus on innovation, a focus on employee value, and a focus on personal ethics. Management sole focus is personal survival and will sell out employees and peers to remain in positions. Customers are being given a lower value service offering at higher prices.

Pros

Very good people throughout the company. Good work / life balance in most corporate roles. Good salaries and great benefits - for now.

Cons

Extremely hierarchical - to the point of being insulting to experienced employees. Project approvals take forever because of the numerous layers of management. During the recent reorganization everyone in corporate received new job titles and numerous people received demotions.

Pros

Job is hands on and you feel like you accomplished something in a successful shift. When you're done for the day you you're done. The next day starts as a clean slate again.

Cons

Work - Life balance is terrible. On the extra-board (where everyone starts out) you have 2 days a month that you are not in call and you Omar's subject to call all hours of the day with a 1 hour notice to be at work. Job is very stressful, and you have managers putting in test situations that make it even more so.
