Pros

Place didn't get better till our union negotiated our own health insurance through the FMCP plan. We are completely separate from the companies insurance, which is unheard of.

Cons

Good old boy Texas Panhandle mentality. If your not one of the boys you will never have any other opportunity to do anything than what you are doing. Management doesn't care about experience if there buddy is interested in the job. There is a bunch of uneducated hillbillys running this place. They scratch they're heads wondering why there has been such a mass exodus in employees. Stay away from here, all promotions are political, your hard work means nothing if you expect it to one day.

Pros

Work-life balance, okay benefits, and cemented impact on the community

Cons

Because the company has a bottom line, promotional paths aren't really a thing beyond individual contributor to manager. I don't know what the next level up would be besides that.
