Pros

Decent pay and benefits, half day Fridays, good coworkers(many are not there anymore though)

Cons

You can never settle down because they are always transferring you or laying you off. Poor management. Layoffs left mostly managers left and a lot of them should have been let go. Many managers are only looking out for their interests and not the companies, hence the downfall of CONSOL. Get rid of the people that do the work and leave people that sit in endless meetings each day that mostly are unproductive. No communication within groups because the managers either don't get along with the other managers or they are trying to withhold info so they are more powerful. This may be a result of everyone always scared they will be laid off or transferred. Most people that read from the outside may think this is a bitter former employee that was laid off, but if you worked there you would know exactly what I am talking about.

Pros

My department is flexible with hours and time off. No other pros. Really a terrible place to work. I have learned nothing in my time there and feel that it has set my career back rather than advanced it.

Cons

Very disorganized company. Constant restructuring, layoffs, no clear direction at all. Experience is not at all valued. Computers and equipment are outdated and inadequate for getting the job done. There is no employee development or industry training. Communication is terrible. Many in middle management are just putting in time and doing the absolute minimum.

Pros

Some great people, good benefits, flexibility, nice location and office space.

Cons

Grossly unqualified middle management on the gas side. You're put in power if your father worked for the coal mine 30 years ago. Arrogance can only cover incompetence for so long. Keep running the company into bankruptcy guys!
