Pros

I’ve had a really positive experience working here. The pay and especially benefits are competitive, and the company genuinely takes care of its employees. The culture is good — coworkers are friendly and supportive. Leadership is approachable and respectful, and there’s a strong sense of teamwork throughout the organization. The work itself can be challenging at times, but in a rewarding way that helps you grow professionally and build new skills. Overall, it’s a great place for someone looking for meaningful work, good people, and solid benefits.

Cons

The workload can be heavy at times, and there are periods where things move very quickly. However, the work is meaningful and the team is supportive, which helps balance out the busy moments.

Pros

Highly capable team of individual contributors who keep operations running. Challenging projects for those who enjoy high pressure environments.

Cons

A culture exists where corporate executive leadership claim victories on successful projects but shift blame to their staff when any issues arise. Cross-departmental and inter-facility communication is virtually non-existent. Teams operate in isolated silos, leading to massive redundancies, conflicting priorities, and a "knowledge hoarding" environment that prevents efficient scaling. Financial leadership prioritizes short-term optics over long-term stability. Spend is often withheld until something reaches a breaking point, forcing teams into a permanent state of reactive firefighting. Corporate culture at the upper management level relies heavily on gossip and lies rather than transparent, direct leadership. This creates a high-anxiety environment where ICs and middle management staff are talked about reactively rather than consulted proactively. High performance is rewarded with an unsustainable workload. Tasks are piled onto the most reliable staff without additional resources or executive-level appreciation, leading to rapid burnout.

Cons

Some of the sites are older and still need upgrades, still overcoming a long period of underinvestment decades ago
