An okay place

Pros

The office space is very nice. The onsite gym is also a plus.

Cons

The office space is equally boring. Also, the company talks about being the shepherd's of the earth, but by their business practices, you can tell that they only really care about the bottom line.

Pros

Based on the area, the money is definitely above average. The benefits are all there, 401k, insurance and the like. Potential for growth based on blue collar positions isn't all there.

Cons

Long hours. Lack of leadership oversight. They hire anyone willing to do the jobs. No skill, experience or education? No problem. Welcome to POET.

Pros

Autonomy. They love it when you apply yourself. Pay and benefits are ok. Managers are good. Pretty much satisfied. Butt.....

Cons

As in every employment there are over performers and under performers. If you are a slacker you will probably find a safe happy corner to do the minimum and collect a paycheck. If you are a worker you will pick up the slack and do more than your share. You will like it and so will everyone else including management. This will ultimately lead to burnout or worse trying to do too much and then be seen as failing when you can not get your work load plus done. Eventually you may even be cited for failure not because you are a failure but because you are spending too much time doing little tasks that are constantly left undone until you come in. Dirty filters/strainers, plant cleanliness, leaks, messed up paperwork parameters out of accpetable range/norm. Pretty much expect to come back after your days off and take over a plant that has had minimal effort to keep it running. Tune it back out . Fix clean adjust. I can't win. The harder I work the less everyone else does.
