Pros

Good pay, good coworkers, relatively low stress

Cons

Executives are completely tone deaf and employee morale is in disrepair. Between layoffs, missed bonuses, and RTO mandates with no plan in place, it's hard not to feel like the leadership is either incompetent or trying to tank the company. I can't trust a thing they say. and I know I'm not alone. Either way, I'm expecting a lot of people to leave in a short amount of time.

Pros

Good pay and family benefits

Cons

Either you drank the cool aid were one of them or if you didn't you would have a target. They preached safety but had a get it done however attitude when no one was around. Then there was the cooking of the books. One breath they tell you to push timesheets to capital by ficticiously adding a capital item to material list. Did that for years under upper management direction. Have some saved emails from upper management that fired them off without thinking. I could go on but bottom line terrible place to work, no work life balance, untrustworthy upper management. Oh and did I mention the fake safety records. Unreported injured employees, damaged to company vehicles that I was told to sweep under the rug. A real class act... Not
