Pros

The training covers the essentials, and the equipment is up to date. It's hands-on work, and while there may be very busy days, it never gets overwhelming. Team members take safety seriously and constantly share tips on staying out of harm's way. Management checks in regularly so you can bring any questions or issues to its attention without delay.

Cons

Site rotations sometimes disrupt routine.
