Pros

- The sky is the limit - Happy group of people - The D in DPR cares about employees at all levels - solid benefits package that is very broad - hardly any micro-managing - smart group of people

Cons

- the work hours, even when you are not in operations, the expectation is that you are there at least from 7:00 to 6:00 - that leadership on a regional level is a bunch of guys who have wives that do not work giving them a ton of flexibility when compared to the "modern" couple where both wife and husband work - performance review process is really antiquated, management turns the responsibility of feedback back on the employee saying that they need to do more to get feedback - it is a culture that takes outsiders a long time to grasp
