Pros

Pay and benefits are great. 12 hour shifts 6am- 6pm or 6pm- 6am, so you work 4 days on and 3 days off, then 3 days on and 4 days off. Chance for bonuses based on team performance. Most of the people are great to work with. Great training.

Cons

The job is pretty boring unless there is training or an outage going on. During outages there may be forced overtime.

Pros

Our team is genuinely one of the company’s greatest strengths. People consistently show up for each other, whether someone has a question, needs guidance, or just needs a second set of eyes. There’s a real sense of kindness and collaboration here — everyone jumps in without hesitation, and it creates an environment where you feel supported, valued, and able to do your best work.

Cons

One of the biggest challenges is the lack of formal training when you start, which makes it difficult to feel fully prepared in your role. Management is often busy and not always available when questions come up, so getting timely guidance can be inconsistent. Processes and directions also tend to shift quickly — announcements are made, and then expectations change shortly after, which creates confusion. At times, upper leadership communicates in a way that feels more like talking at employees rather than engaging with them, and concerns raised by staff can be overshadowed by comments about leadership bonuses or priorities that don’t align with what employees are asking for.
