Pros

Salary and Benefits: The nuclear industry pays extremely well with performance bonuses, annual pay raises, and overtime/outage pay. Discounted stock purchase and good 401k matching. There are also fitness and health reimbursements available. Coworkers: Smart, talented, hardworking people. Good mix of people, from the Shop workers to the Operators and Engineers. White/blue collar mix. Casual dress/work environment. Interesting Work: Unique industry. Very technically involved.

Cons

Workload: Salaried for 40 hours a week, but a more realistic number is 50-60. Managers typically have 10 hour days that may limit employee oversight. Additional Duty: Responsible for standing emergency response teams that limit your weekend activities (no drinking, travel limitations). Outage coverage means 12hr shiftwork for ~1 month per year. Regulation: If you want to "change the world" then you need to work for Elon Musk. The NRC and government regulates everything in the nuke power industry. Conservative thinking and risk management are mandatory cultural adaptations.

Pros

Hands down one of the best compensation packages around. The bonus are great but can suffer due to how the company is performing.

Cons

Long hours are expected (like public accounting firms), senior management does not values the opinions of the staff, not flexible at all. Wanted us to come into the office on a Saturday!
