Pros

Pay is good for the role, and for the location. Benefits and reward systems are also pretty good.

Cons

Each unit seems to have 1000 senior managers and only two people who actually do the work. Too many senior managers all wanting to only attend meetings give their opinions and dish out tasks. The company is also extremely reluctant to hirer new people even where the need may be crystal clear. Easy to get overworked while someone else gets a pat in the back for successfully cutting down budget costs. Have seen the best and most hardworking employees chased out of the company because of this (they cannot get support) leaving behind only the lazy ones who have already given up on the company.

Pros

-Technological superior to most other companies with use of AI and promising future tech/programs -benefits and pay are very competetive -room for professional growth and advancement if you know how to work in a corporate environment -resume development and professional advancement

Cons

-leadership ideology doesnt match the company/CEOs mission statement or belief (company is said to be all for safety yet leaders get put in charge and quickly dismantle and lay off 3 quarters of the safety department) -Leadership changes structure to benefit themselves by having all support functions report to them instead of the CEO, this ensures all support functions take a back seat to production and financial gain to include their employees well being -Company restructured and reorganizes very often while showing no loyalty to the employees who work hard and want to stay, this leads to turn over of great employees.
