Pros

Good pay and benefits. Union jobs that are almost impossible to be fired from. You can come to work everyday and not have anything expected of you and it doesn't really matter if you did anything or not.

Cons

The management has no clue what is going on. The foreman just wing it and the employees do what they want. There are no standards so it changes everyday as the management sees fit. A lot of the senior guys have a disgruntled attitude which gives the place a negative vibe. Most people have been here over five years and wouldn't know where to start if they actually had to troubleshoot something. Jobs are seniority bases so the only thing that gets you ahead is time. Hard Work, knowledge, skill, and craftsmanship are non-existent. There are no sick days and after eight years you get one personal day. Every night, weekend, and holiday are just regular old working days. They preach that "the best ones to improve the work are the one who do it" but never listen to ideas.

Company has spent alot of capital on infrastructure which makes it more viable during hard economic times. Benefits are top tier. Retirement is something to envy.

Cons

Field managers are run hard with long days and variable days off.

Pros

Knowing that the work you're doing is benefitting the community, state, and country as a whole! As the slogan goes "Building America"

Cons

The odd hours that we work(on call for the most part!) can be hard to live with!
