Pros

Pay and health insurance, easy training

Cons

Every year our time off gets worse. Expected to do more with less. Every contract we vote down and it gets shoved down our throat through arbitration. We used to be able to move into management but that is next to near impossible anymore. Billion dollar company doesn’t 401k. One man crews are coming in a couple years.

Pros

Great people and strong coworkers across the organization. The company offers competitive pay, strong benefits, and good overall stability. There are many experienced employees who care about the work and are willing to help others succeed.

Cons

The organization can be very hierarchical, which sometimes makes it difficult to drive change or move quickly. Decisions often require multiple layers of approval, so it can take longer than expected to finalize direction or make progress. There is also limited flexibility compared to what many other companies offer, especially when it comes to working arrangements.
