Pros

Decent wages Outage contract Good regular schedule (4x10s with rotating 4 day weekend)

Cons

Wasteful spending Rather spend money on useless outdated ideas than upgrading to newer equipment or technology. Yearly COL increases are below national standard

Pros

Attempting to lead the charge in green energy transitions.

Cons

Management beyond one level above knows nothing about the job I performed, never checked in. Clearly marked structure for promotions was not followed, promotions dangled in front of many instructors to keep us where we were. Management organization shuffled many times, clear influence of military experience as far as "the good old boys", favoritism, and unprofessional treatment of employees.

Pros

Stability and salary/wages are hard to beat in my area. Benefits are good.

Cons

I have a complete lack of trust in senior leaderships ability to recognize what the true organizational/process problems are and then implement meaningful, sustainable change. Regardless of what you see in the company press releases and PR, this organization has an old school leadership/management model and I don't see that changing any time soon.
