Pros

Bottom line- the company and work contributes to something positive- clean energy, recycling, and responsible waste management. If you are in a support role (not directly participating in running the plant/facility) you can have good work/life balance. There is a lot of opportunity if you are interested in putting in the work to try to fix/change things. The company was recently acquired by a huge investment firm. Hopefully this means they will finally fix the broken down facilities.

Cons

Ultimately, money has decided everything for a long time. Long-term mismanagement of that money has trashed the success of the company. Corners have been cut in every way possible. Plants have been exponentially falling into further disrepair for years. This is an old white boys club. If you are anything other than that- best of luck! The company will not enforce the same expectations for senior/tenured employees, specifically in terms of culture/behavior. Tough times for DE&I initiatives. HR has many positive goals and focuses, but the dept. is realistically a figurehead... ultimately operational success takes precedence over everything. Even safety. The company is collaborative, but only in silos. It is a fight to work together at the plants if those people choose not to join. In the roles at or interacting with corporate, you will have more luck. Corporate leadership has held off on properly compensating staff in the plant (who are the only profit-generating group) for far too long, and continue to fight providing it.

Pros

The shift supervisor role consists of busy days with a lot of varying priorities. You are responsible for emissions regulation, work permits, specialized permits, managing changing plant conditions, and administrative personnel requirements. This can be a high-octane role but has a more relaxed period on night shift and when outages aren't occurring (planned shutdowns for maintenance). Expect to drive plant performance and employee development. Many opportunities for professional and personal development if you put the time in.

Cons

The plant culture will play a huge role in your quality of life, since most of your time will be at the plant. This can be good or bad. Quite a few managers do not engage or develop personnel due to various qualities. You will have to do the leg work in fostering a change for personnel development.
