      Pros

      Great culture around safety and a lot of opportunities for growth in varying areas of the business. If you are willing to move around you can climb the rankings quickly and get a lot of great experience along the way. There are a lot of great people who you get to work with that have varying levels of experience to pass on.

      Cons

      Typical corporate structure. There is a lot of bureaucracy at each site where people are trying to build their empires.

      Great pay, amazing benefits, work/life balance.

      Cons

      Consistenly laying people off to either outsource or cut costs - usually happens every couple of years.

      Pros

      Good pay and decent benefits.

      Cons

      Terrible culture. Leaders in the organization are either too soft or try to be too hard. No alignment between departments. You have a few good people doing great things and the promotions are given to the people who "talk" the best game. If you are not an engineer, you will likely not see a big promotion.
