      Pros

      Benefits, Retirement, Co Workers, Your own boss

      Cons

      • Your first years you will be furloughed every year unless you chase work around the country. • Draconian points system allows no personal life. Forget about holidays, kid’s birthdays, or taking off sick. • Work 24/7 365 with 12 hour shifts you won’t be rested for because of their terrible on duty predictions. • They steal money from you by denying every contractual claim you’re owed. • This industry is ever changing and never for the better. Don’t waste your time with this company.

      Pros

      Great people and strong coworkers across the organization. The company offers competitive pay, strong benefits, and good overall stability. There are many experienced employees who care about the work and are willing to help others succeed.

      Cons

      The organization can be very hierarchical, which sometimes makes it difficult to drive change or move quickly. Decisions often require multiple layers of approval, so it can take longer than expected to finalize direction or make progress. There is also limited flexibility compared to what many other companies offer, especially when it comes to working arrangements.
