Pros
Great people Safety focus Technical growth through training and mentoring Extremely challenging environment Feels like a small company but projects and technology rival those of a large company Many and varied project opportunities Few barriers between groups Open, honest communication is encouraged at all levels Very stable company Good benefits
Cons
Staffing levels - many pieces of the organization are ran on a skeletal staff The size of the employee base and the historic retention means that someone has to die for you to move up. Extremely challenging environment Ramp time into Colonial is counted in years A large percentage of the Staff is poised for retirement Work life balance is difficult due to low staffing and project load Potentially hazardous environment - It is a petroleum pipeline company
