Pros

Plenty of senior electricians to draw knowledge from who are willing to teach as long as your able to listen and be open to their ways. Weekly paycheck, many different projects to work on. Low-level management generally listens to employees

Cons

Upper leadership is a disaster.

Pros

Pay, some of the leaders are fantastic.

Cons

You are so micromanaged here. If you make anyone mad and they report you to Ethics, consider yourself gone. Horrible place to work!
