Pros

Generally good people. Room to grow. Laid back atmosphere You can pretty much set your own hours as an engineer.

Cons

Pay is rather poor. At the mercy of the volatile oil mining industry. To get in the company you are forced to e a Volt temp for years until they take you on. Many of the skills gained here will not apply to other companies.

Pros

Good Co. that has always been behind what it sells. Plenty if not too much overtime. Great incentive programs, provided you get the time to incorporate them into your busy day.

Cons

Little focus on what can become another feather in the Corporations hat. With a name like Solar, why are they not involved in solar energy or other non-carbon type energy? Has become too stringent in their internal policies.
