Pros

Good paying job, good benefits, alot of other perks.

Cons

They have no respect for older people, and I am not old so I am not writing this about me, however they get rid of you if you know too much. They want young ignorant workers who barely can run the units and then upper management micromanages the heck out of you. People get hurt out there unnecessarily due to a fear based safety program that does not prepare you properly. If you do too much they view you as a rule breaker. The benefits are OK but they do not offer a bonus. Yes they offer a pension but they place alot of rules around it and it will be lowered by the time you qualify to draw. They push a safety program that focuses on fear and what is the worst that can happen to you to push focus. Instead they could help you learn what causes lack of focus and how to prevent it and why it happens along with sharings. They hide alarms because the operators are afraid to alarm due to management documentation of them not being on top of operations and the community reporting releases. Very disfunctional group who will get more people hurt because of there programs and policies that are too numerous and too accusatory to let people get better at there jobs.

Pros

Good pay and a pension

Cons

Everything else. Benefits are lackluster, Flex Your Day policies are elusive. The company changes everything all the time so that a large portion of your time is spent finding new links to things on the portal, figuring out who to contact in various departments and in what country just to get a simple answer to a question. No one stays in the same role long enough to get good at their job. Morale is terrible.
