Pros

Great direct manager (Ray Gallagher). Generally spend a lot of time driving (sleeping if you're not CDL certified) and talking when on the trucks. Rich Finnegan EHS safety guy genuinely cares about everyone.

Cons

Long hours, overtime is expected. Never know how long your day will be, could be 4 hours or 16 hours. Upper management doesn't care about employees, only bottom line. Rarely given raises unless you pass tests, which you're not told how to obtain, when to take, given anything to review or told how it will graded. No upward mobility, always will be the same work. On-site employees (on-site contractors at customer facilities) are outcasts from the company. They're rarely ever checked upon, never hear any important info from Marlboro office. Dangerous work, regularly dealing with highly hazardous materials with poor explanations of what to do with them, especially when initially starting. Other employees seemed to be a little ..off. Took 1+ year to get training I was supposed to get in 1st 3 months. Took 8+ months to even be hired from headhunter full time.

Pros

It was very relaxed when working for this particular location. People were friendly and the time went by quickly. The work was also informative.

Cons

At the time, there was not much work going on at that location. Therefore, I did not learn much on the job and the internship was not helpful in the long run.

Pros

relaxing environment, good work & life balance, caring Admin people. Good reputation in local market, dispite the infamous chemical leak from its municipal plant recently. It's good for gradualate to stay couple of years and jump for others.

Cons

Really hard to do anything here, either execution of a project nor value engineering, the French were always in the way to delay and say no. Eventually some bigger French will come out and stop the little French from ending everything. Salary is median low among the market.
