Pros

There are very few pros. The job is can be demanding at times but for the most part its steady work. Benefits are ok for now but i fear it’s about to get worse.

Cons

Where to start. Management within mechanical is a disaster. Favoritism runs rampant. Communication is almost non existent. There is zero accountability from the top down. Speaking up about safety concerns will generally earn you less desirable and more hard work. After 7 years of service You finally get 3 weeks of vacation and 1 paid sick day. The sentiment towards the company is at an all time low and management seems to think its at an all time high. Good luck getting a part or full weekend days off. You will be waiting 20+ years. They will drag out contract negotiations as long as possible. We operated without a labor contract for 3 years late last time. This one is almost 2 years late and no progress has been made.

Pros

Great people and strong coworkers across the organization. The company offers competitive pay, strong benefits, and good overall stability. There are many experienced employees who care about the work and are willing to help others succeed.

Cons

The organization can be very hierarchical, which sometimes makes it difficult to drive change or move quickly. Decisions often require multiple layers of approval, so it can take longer than expected to finalize direction or make progress. There is also limited flexibility compared to what many other companies offer, especially when it comes to working arrangements.
