Pros

Great people. Everyone has a sense of humor and is very open to talk about hobbies and interests. The people made the job worth doing. My boss was also great on a personal level, but on a professional one not so much. Getting time off (either paid or unpaid) was relatively easy and flexible.

Cons

Absolutely HORRIBLE management practices. The level of micromanagement is insane. The amount of training necessary to do any task is quite extensive. Ok fine, I understand that's necessary for this particular industry, but management will move at a glacial pace to get someone fully trained and signed off on anything. The company also will continually cycle through temps and allow their contracts to end, but then they turn around and hire new contractors all over again. The pay is also not very competitive.

Pros

Great benefits: Day one health insurance, profit sharing, 401K and pension plan.

Cons

This location is a startup venture and has lots of details to work out to become more efficient and reliable. Advancement opportunities are very slow. Construction and infrastructure improvements are still in progress. There are a lot of PPE requirements due to the complexity and hazards on the job. The 12.25 work hours with shifting two weeks on day and two weeks on nights is very hard on the mind and body.
