Pros

OK income and healthcare plan; OT available.

Cons

Clique culture; management will do what they can to fire you after one year; management will insist that you stay (do over time, even if you can not); the union reps are not all out to help you out; ZERO communication between management and clerks at all levels; every two years upper management will try to screw union members out of pay and benefits at the end of the contract.

If you come in as entry level engineer the only way to move from entry level to higher level position is to wait the prescribed number of years, which is 2.5 years, even if you came in with experience
