Pros

Company is actively working towards improving their sustainability practices Company has been actively working to create a safety based culture at all practices and is fighting and discussing compliancy often Recent deployment of Center of Excellence groups to spread knowledge between plants and assist smaller locations who do not have the same resources as larger locations. Less and less positions in management are chosen through personal relationships and more for skill and expertise in the requirements for the job. Lots of opportunities to travel and move through regions. Outside training and learnings are encouraged and often paid by workplace.\ Health insurance is a reasonable cost and the benefits are great. 401K is matched up to 6% and an additional 1% is automatically contributed by company even if your compensation is 0%. Flexible Spend Account is available for additional health expenses and is matched by company up to certain amount. For salary, cost of living adjustment is given every year.

Cons

For most salary positions, long hours are expected with no overtime or additional compensation when called in on nights, weekends, holidays, or vacations. Compensation time for these instances are up to the managers discretion. "Do more with less" has been a constant mentality for the last 15 years in terms of personal and job responsibilities. Company changes location development submittals and procedures every few weeks at a minimum. No performance bonuses available for salary.

Pros

You have the opportunity to see the direct impact of your work across different locations and interact with people from a wide range of backgrounds. The role also allows you to build strong, genuine relationships with colleagues working alongside you day to day.

Cons

There is a noticeable lack of transparency within the organization. Communication from senior team members can be inconsistent, and at times feels misaligned with their actions. Recognition and positive feedback are limited, particularly outside of established internal circles. The company’s technology and processes can be outdated and overly complex, which can hinder efficiency. Additionally, the organizational structure is quite hierarchical, and there appears to be limited initiative from leadership to drive meaningful change. The role often extends beyond typical analyst responsibilities, requiring significant emotional labor in addition to technical work.
