Pros

Good pay if you have a lot of experiene and if you know a lot of positions. Great benefits and a good yearly bonus check.

Cons

The Work Environment isnt the greatest. The shop is usually whatever temperature it is outside. A lot of physical labor but at least you get your excersice.

Pros

Great coworkers, good life work balance. Safety is a big thing here. In fact their budget makes up most of the spending the company does on one department.

Cons

Company rarely trains old employees to do new things. Observation is they would rather lay off workers and hire trained people from the outside. Budgets are always tight which impedes new projects. Company makes decisions based on EBITDA only. If a location doesn't make enough money to justify its existence, its gone. Very cold approach to business decisions.
