Pros

It is a job and you get paid

Cons

Where do I start. This company has lied to me since the day I read the job posting. They advertise 24.18 an hour but once you get into orientation they spring their "compressed" pay, which means most of your pay is actually $3 less (OT is different). They also say the schedule is 4 on 4 off. Lie #2. Once you are trained up and ready to abuse, you work 6-8 days or more then if you're lucky you get a day off, then start right back to 6-8 days in a row. Not just day shift if you work in certain areas, both days and night shift in the same week. Oh and you will only find out your schedule the day before for the next week starts, so hope you don't have a life to plan for, they don't care. This job is perfect if you have no family and want to work your life away.

Pros

Talented and hardworking electricians, operators, mechanics, and plant personnel. Interesting automation and controls work with opportunities to solve challenging technical problems. Significant autonomy at the local level when responding to production issues. Good compensation and benefits. Corporate engineering resources are knowledgeable and generally willing to help.

Cons

Expectations and priorities frequently changed without corresponding adjustments to workload. Performance feedback lacked important operational context, such as competing priorities, project reassignment, and resource constraints. Communication tended to favor frequent meetings over clear written expectations. Accommodation requests and communication support were difficult to navigate and lacked a clear process. Single-engineer staffing model creates a challenging environment for vacations, medical appointments, training, and long-term sustainability. Heavy emphasis on immediate deliverables can make long-term engineering work and root-cause analysis difficult.
