Pros

Competitive wages and decent benefits package if you choose options carefully. Opportunities are available to "learn as you go" in welding practice.

Cons

Initiative is not rewarded as supervisors tend to be in cliques and protect their own jobs resorting to unethical practices with documentation and employee interaction. Market forecast is still iffy through end of this year going into '17. Expect hours to fluctuate.

Pros

Long-tenured senior leadership group that cares about the company and the employees. One of the few places remaining hat offer quasi lifetime employment. Opportunities galore for those willing to seek them and go for it.

Cons

Not always open to new ideas or new thinking. Bad news rarely gets communicated up - people focus on messaging more than to pass along critical pieces of information.
