Pros

Great health benefits. Focused on safety. Can be very flexible if situations arise. Proud of their history. Very supportive for education and learning.

Cons

Not too many opportunities to advance in middle or lower jobs to more responsible positions. Communication downward could be better. Too lean to be as transparent as needed.

Pros

Interesting work with smart people. Company is big, but still small enough to have an impact. There are a lot of people who have been here over a decade who bring stability to the day-to-day life.

Cons

The company is lean. The work expected by senior management far outpaces the resources dedicated to staff it. There is a VERY limited opportunity for advancement except in a couple of functions. Salaries are average to below average for the area. Retirement benefits are in the process of being cut significantly. The benefit cut will probably lead to a lot of turnover and disruption.
