Pros

Pay check to pay the bills. Still have health care. Buildings have a roof, four walls and a floor.

Cons

Raises for majority of employees less than inflation (buying power is decreasing for most), reducing manpower but expecting more from employees, Work-Life Balance a negative (Generation resolved this issue by creating a new "unpaid overtime" time code - Clueless), Great place for a Live to Work person, delta in salaries between Senior/Executive Leadership and the others increasing yearly, no retiree health care, no pension plan, continued reduction in health care benefits, "Ready-Fire-Aim" Management Style by Nuclear/Generation Leadership, respect for employees appears to be declining, Performance Appraisals are really a Populatiry Contest and no longer linked to "incentive pay", promotions based on "buddy system," less than adequate communications between the different groups in the company, modivation for arriving each day is declining, careful providing truthful answer to question as one may be listed as "not a team player" or "disgruntled,"

Pros

Average Pay, good place to get experience but not a place to get paid or have a career.

Cons

Average Pay, expensive benefits, poor management from top to bottom with a selfish greedy CEO that is on his way out due to retirement. A company that is positioning itself to be bought out.

Pros

Good pay and benefits, no pressure to work overtime, good sense of work life balance and normally promote from within

Cons

Too much emphasis on who you know as opposed to what you know. Not the easiest place to get integrated into the culture for experienced personnel
