Pros

Expectations are high. They give you opportunities to gain experience in the field. Safety is the top priority. They depend on you to do real work and contribute to the team.

Cons

It seems to be a little understaffed so everyone is working non stop to keep up. In light of that though the atmosphere is accommodating and so is the pay. You also gain much more experience and are given more responsibility than in other companies.
