Pros

-Tons of OT if you are hourly -Corporate staff truly seem to believe in the Service Leadership principles. This was a primary attraction to working for WC. -Varied work environment, interaction between customers and site personnel was always a challenge but rewarding when things worked out correctly. -There was vast potential from top to bottom on the site. - Pay was excellent.

Cons

-Tons of OT if you are Salary. - Yell first, ask questions later environment from *some* management. -No true training for new employees. Suggestions to improve were taken, but simply led to checklists with no plan to ensure understanding and safe operations prior to beginning to operate. - Something had clearly occurred in the past that led to a deep distrust and near hatred between management and employees. This was a disappointment given the values that the company was supposed to uphold. - Very little room to develop as a junior employee. New Ideas are shunned/often met with contempt and lead to passive aggressive punishment. - Employees were left unpunished after repeated insubordinate and distracting incidents. Issue was ignored until physical altercations occurred. This is absolutely unacceptable in the modern workplace. -The atmosphere among employees was a general feeling of walking on thin ice. -No long term path to success with the company.

Pros

Not many pros. Can’t think of any. People were nice at first but then they all got fired around me. Replaced countlessly.

Cons

If you are not part of “The Foot Hills” then you are already on your way out the door. This is a mafia within the company that lie to the cooperate level employees about wrecks, etc. if you aren’t part of the club and you tell cooperate the truth you get the boot.
