Pros

The hourly workers are cool to around, self paced, lots of equipment to work, 401k is really good and they offer a 2% pension.

Cons

Safety is a joke the rules change everyday, Managers (Engineers) are a joke they know nothing when it comes to mechanics the only thing they care about is penny pinching because it looks good on them and they get a big bonus. ERT team never runs drills, alarm system doesn't work, no one is held accountable for their actions, operators are very junior, systems are not up to date, i am surprise that their hasn't been a bad accident here yet.

Pros

The actual coworkers and team members are great. Everyone is super supportive and just trying to help each other out.

Cons

Management: There’s a huge disconnect between upper leadership and the people doing the day-to-day work. Goals and priorities change constantly with very little communication, and it often feels like micromanagement takes the place of actual guidance. Work-Life Balance: The workload is completely unsustainable. You’re expected to handle an overwhelming amount of work, but you aren't given the resources or staffing to actually get it done without burning out. Expecting people to constantly work over their hours has become the norm. Lack of Growth: Career progression is pretty much non-existent. Promises of promotions or career development are thrown around, but they rarely actually happen. There’s no clear pathway to move up, so it’s easy to feel stuck and stagnant.
