Pros

Benefits are great and pay is pretty good. Great job location and great credit union with low rates. Benefits are the key

Cons

I can only speak to the hvac dept: So much politics!!! If you are not a member of the gang, you are in for a miserable experience. It will make you immedietely find another job, regardless of pay and benefits just so you can keep your sanity.
