Pros

Pension 10% 401k after 9 years Medical for family is about 500 a month, but coverage is great. Free cancer and heart screenings. Any procedures required covered 100%. A lot of small "perks" like auto discounts, gym reimbursement, boot allowance, etc.

Cons

It takes a Loooong time to get trained here. SEVERAL units are understaffed and require you to work a LOT. Which is great for your bank account but really puts a lot of your family life on hold. Usually ending in divorce.

Pros

Early career engineers are given significant ownership and exposure to complex operational challenges. Strong focus on safety, technical development, and collaboration across disciplines. Opportunities to work on high-impact projects, interact with senior leadership, and contribute to decisions affecting major assets and infrastructure.

Cons

Workloads can be demanding, and priorities can shift quickly based on operational needs. Decision-making processes can be slow due to organizational complexity, and geographic mobility may be necessary for certain career opportunities.
