Pros

No previous experience necessary. Pass a pre-test and you're in. Ok pay for the gulf coast area.

Cons

Parking and traffic are horrible. Hot hot hot. Welding machines are mostly old, broken and barely work. Hardly ever have tools needed to do the job (mirror holders, stingers, remotes, ect.). Lots of waisted efforts and an apparent lack of efficiency. Lots of theft by other employees. Constantly moved from shift to shift.

Pros

Remote Work, Flex Schedule, Benefits are decent enough.

Cons

It is very much a boys club between management, leads, and HR. HR is there to protect the company, not you. The moment you have something crazy happen (and you will because most people in positions of power are old retired navy guys who cant even work a computer usually and would rather praddle on about "the good ole days") and you report it to HR, you immediately will be retaliated against, even when HR says you wont. Its tough to say how you wont when they immediately inform your supervisor. I also hate how they are an "inclusive" company, and yet I have been called more slurs and received more backlash for being LGBT when its not even being presented, I just want to log in, work, ask questions, log off.
