Pros

Piper put a medical clinic on site, and me and my whole family can go there for free anytime. I could not believe it. no waiting, and excellent care much better than any doctor office that I have been too. Pay has been good and gotten better recently. I am all in on Piper as they have been good to me, and care about me and my family.

Cons

We work a lot of overtime but we gets paid for it time plus half. Other departments do not work much overtime, but if you dont work it than you don't get paid for it. I would like more overtime some weeks as I need the money, but other weeks not so much.
