Pros

The pay is good .

Cons

The bullying tactics and discipline procedures are a joke. It's appalling.The blatant disregard this company has for union agreements is at its worse. They do what they want to anyone and seem to get away with it. They have sold off assets, cut jobs, treat their employees horribly, and jeopardize employee's safety over their lack of fixing equipment. Their attitude is as long as they can blame it on employee failure, its okay to do. Sad to see a company that was once a place you were proud to work, now an embarrasment. And the bottom line, it's all over greed and the all mighty dollar.

Pros

Pays decently well for first job out of college. My manager and team are very reasonable with expectations placed on new hires. Working after office hours (past 4:30pm) is extremely rare and only expected in emergencies.

Cons

Very slow and/or limited job growth potential. Promotions into middle management are almost purely based on reputation with middle managers who are largely people with previous field experience. This is very disadvantageous to direct-from-college hires like myself and even my current manager.
