Pros

The pay was decent, and the benefits were good. About on par with industry standards. Very good pension options

Cons

Ineffective, inept management, at both the local and regional level. The workload is not shared evenly. Incompetent, lazy employees are allowed to do as they please. The more competent you are, and the harder you work, the more they give you. It's feast or famine with the workload. And there is no recognition in the way of bonuses or any other acknowledgment to those people who work there behind's off. There are seldom opportunities for advancement, and pay increases are extremely rare.

Pros

When I was able to finally put in my two weeks.

Cons

I could barely afford groceries on their salary. Terrible upper management, that sat around stroking their own egos and solving not one issue for the team. Upper management bullying. Was told for the first 6 months of working there that we were awful. Worked 12 hour days the first weeks in without one thank you. Gaslighting on a level I have never experienced. Zero opportunity for advancement. Would tell us no overtime for months, then pull us in the office and ask why we were not utilizing all the overtime we were allowed to use.
