Pros

Capable colleagues Decent benefits Lots of opportunities

Cons

The fact that people change jobs very regularly makes it harder to progress upwards. You may go from leading a team to not managing anyone, even if you led well.

Pros

> Safety minded company with complex standards and procedure. > Willing to listen to safety concerns and address them with mitigations. > Above average salary, OT rates and decent healthcare benefits and annual medical checkups. > Robust operational standard to ensure safety devices are functional and hazards identified, probability classified and implement appropriate measures in place to mitigate or minimize risk. > Clear progression career path for operation team technician.

Cons

> Standards and procedures are complex and difficult to fully understand and interpret. > High expectation on compliance and knowledge in standards for work permit issuance. > High frequency of management verification on ground operation team. > Many safety system and often changes from time to time which can be confusing. > Used to provide safety or operation training but was greatly reduced in recent years due to cost cutting. > Bonus and increment has been declining due to cost pressure and business losses. > Top management turnover rate high leading to poor technical skill and decision making on cost saving measures (often save 5 dollar but spend 50 dollars later.)
