Reviews about "good pay"
Return to all Reviews- 1.0Oct 28, 2017EngineerFormer Employee, more than 5 yearsCranberry, PA
Pros
The pay is good if you are an engineer but don't like to do actual engineering. The management is so inept and clueless, they think collecting as many review signatures on any document and making sure all rev numbers are correct is more important than actually getting work completed. This is a big reason why the project at VC summer failed, which led to Westinghouse filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Cons
Management is clueless on modern engineering practices. This cannot be more evident in their failed AP1000 project. Instead of using modern computer programing, they used software better suited for the Antique Roadshow. Case in point: All flow modeling for the nuclear safety systems was done using error filled excel files, rather than modern fluid modeling programs. They also used archaic project planning software for a nuke plant build, which the owner of the failed VC Summer project listed as one of the causes of the project's failure. Management is also seems to be sketchy in their practices as the customers at the VC Summer project claimed that Westinghouse Senior Management hid progress on the project and would only feed them tidbits of project data, only to change them later. And now there is talk that the pension plan, that a lot of retired workers rely is in real danger of collapsing. On top of that, management will ask you to work 50 hrs and only pay you 40 (see many of the other reviews on here about that). So if this is the management that you want to work for, then yes, Westinghouse is the place for you! This is a bankrupt company in a dying industry. Because WEC management fumbled things up so badly, there probably won't be another nuke plant built in the Americas for another 30 years.
