Pros

Decent Benefits Average Pay Lots of Hours

Cons

50¢ for a yearly raise as a top technician is inexcusable. This was not unique to me. Never given opportunities for certifications, which is the only thing that brings value to our position. (Keep in mind we’re still expected to do the types of inspections and tests that a certified person would do). You will be promised many things by management, they rarely will follow through, which is sad because some of us have put in countless years and have nothing to show for it. Management will always put the job above their own personnel, which is common in construction companies, and exists here as well.

Pros

The people themselves are great. The company…great, a very progressive and lovely company.

Cons

Bigotry, discrimination, deception, lack of leadership. Promoting deceptive practices in the field, unsafe, nuclear regulatory violations. Customer billing, reporting, and process irregularities up to, and including numbers tampering.

Pros

I really enjoyed working with my manager and I feel with his guidance my career might have gone somewhere with the company.

Cons

Where do I begin? There's an awkward reporting structure where some people report to two different managers in different aspects. It's hard to explain but it really doesn't work. There were no clear objectives for my role and really no structure at all for that function. I was asked to build that structure and really tried to but struggled with getting buy in from the second manager. He seemed to go back and forth in what he wanted done. Lots of passive-aggressive behavior. A coworker was told by her manager that she'll know she's doing a good job if no one complains about her work. Lots of backstabbing. The different departments seem to only try to tolerate each other. I did like my direct manager though and a few others. I think the problems comes from the site manager. He seems to kill morale.
