Pros

Great Operators to work with

Cons

Management, management, management! terrible equipment to work with! I have seen countless times equipment fail because a lack of funding and actually repairing according to procedure. The safety culture is atrocious! Iv seen too many terrible injuries because of the lack of training and faulty equipment. And if you happen to get hurt even if you did everything 100% according to procedure you’ll still get written up or fired and they will lie to your face saying you’re valuable but get rid of you for any little inconvenience. During Covid they would tell you they will do everything they can to keep you employed but walked around and would run you off if you didn’t wear a mask correctly even though it’s over 100+ degrees in most work areas. There is just too much to list here but also don’t believe the 5 star reviews that’s corporate leaving those lies on here to get people to hire on when in reality people are turning down jobs to avoid this place including operators and engineers. DONT work here.
