Pros

Decent power experience that help you in other industries.

Cons

They will push you to try and sign off on projects that have the potential to harm the plant. A lot of people in management as far as supervisors and managers go in design are "yes men" and don't care at all about their employees. They'll throw you under the bus. They won't fire the corrupt and shady people due to limited loyalty so I'd stay away from this place. Everything is 30 years old including the office. They never clean so be prepared to get sick a lot, I never had allergies until I started working there. The plant goes down a lot so you'll have to give up your weekends and expect no bonus. The incentive bonus program is a sham as you never see it because the nuke sites are always shutting down for something. The pay is low. Morale is always low because they don't even provide the very basics to make any employee happy. Benefits aren't good.

Pros

I get plenty of exercise, it's easy, I'm in a union, I get benefits for myself and my wife. It's good work. I worked in maintenance for a cable company before this for nine years and didn't like it.

Cons

I put a lot of miles on my car, but I bought a fuel efficient vehicle for this job. There are dogs in nearly every backyard and it's very scary sometimes.

Pros

Great pay and plenty of opportunity to earn even more if you do not mind working a ton of overtime

Cons

No work life balance, forced overtime, very bad management. Seemed like they changed the ridiculous rules every two weeks
