Pros

None; pay was minimum wage without any other benefits.

Cons

During interview, asked for part-time employment day shift but was given full-time nights. Management is poor at passing information to employees; management accuses employees of theft and fighting with little to no evidence.

Business Outlook

Pros

Its a good company and the people there are generally nice and helpful. They do you have work life balance and they actually mean it. They encourage you to transfer to different job about every 3 to 4 years, so you can learn more about the company and grow your skills. I loved working there

Cons

The pay is ok, its may be a little lower compared to some companies, but they make up for it other benefits, pensions, stocks, and stable work place most of the time. they do have reorganizations about every 4 years depending on the market and Oil/Gas prices
