Pros

Used to be the health insurance, but not anymore

Cons

Where to begin? - Health insurance premiums were put onto employees to save company money, so they are now 4x what they were historically - Overtime is up dramatically to compensate for losing employees - Lack of experienced engineers to provide meaningful support - Overspend on an outage intended to keep us reliable, come out of it less reliable than before - HR and communications run a propaganda campaign full of lies - can’t take vacation because of forced OT - company values include suing former customers to lose all potential future business to try and keep the lights on today - the list could go on forever

Pros

Good people at the unit level

Cons

Company claims they're competitive with pay but they’re not. Every plant around pays more and has a bonus. No one even knows what a bonus is here. We used to have great health benefits but now next year they are forcing us into horrible health benefits and everyone is leaving from operations to engineers and upper management does not care. They still think that this place can run of procedures alone!
