Pros

Competitive pay and benefits. Usually get a cost of living raise and bonus every year. Opportunity for advancement. This used to be a great company to work for.

Cons

Fabricate positions which rob from the numbers of working hands in the field. All overtime has been drastically cut to the point that shifts are Permanently working short handed with no senior operators on site. Training coverage is not being provided at all. This is making the work place extremely unsafe due to a lack of proper manning and experience. Maintenance jobs for technicians have skyrocketed. You are expected to be multi craft including instrument tech work, millwright work, pipefitter work, and hydro blasting. All while being short handed and with little to no training on such work. The amount of red tape you have to go through to get anything done causes unrealistic time constraints on tasks as simple as unlocking a pump or walking out a permit. The current leadership regime is operating with a fear mongering campaign. Threatening to fire anyone who makes a mistake. Everyone is job scared and it is turning everyone against each other. The level of competition to keep your job is malicious, and moral is at an all time low. They took 3 supervisors that were at home and had no affiliation with a particular incident and put them on a FINAL NOTICE, on their day off at their homes.
