      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Easy work guaranteed 40 hours a week great benefits no lay offs pension 457 or 401k paid sick days holidays and vacation days

      Cons

      You get penalized for using sick days to easy to lose progressions in the summer time the higher up have less work so they micromanage everything you do new rules are constantly being added it’s not a real union the union works for Pgw so it’s a conflict of interest when it comes time for them to defend you the company always puts the blame on you if they can never find a conclusive answer to a problem

      could be better

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      pay, benefits, some of the people

      Cons

      they preach they're all about family which is a joke. the only family they care about is pgw. union is company sponsored, just because they pay well doesn't mean they can keep you from your family which they will do if your in field ops. asking to get done on time. youll have to deal with massive ego issues. youll be forced to a lot of overtime and get run into the ground and all the union says is youre making money right. sorry but money doesn't keep a happy home. in the winter ok i get it. no need to punish a good worker for doing their job and being good at it just to let a lazy person go home on time. union is cut throat be aware. micromanaged all across the board. trust no one 3 yrs ago they begged us/employees to give positive reviews here, here is an honest one. believe nothing you here and half what you see. very cliquey atmosphere. its high school with grown adults.
