Pros

Corporate culture is great CEO is great

Cons

Nuclear generation is poor performer with respect to industry and not getting significantly better. Night and weekends are typical every week due to some unforeseen equipment or paperwork issue. They say it's getting better but it really isn't. They are burying things that will continue to haunt them for many years to come. Nuclear senior management is easily the worst I've worked for. Only care about production, NOT people or their work life balance. HR is silent and letting directors/VP run the place out of control. 401k is pathetic - you have to VEST before you get a dime from the company (greater than 3 years). They either don't make this available to new hires, or it's buried in the fine print.

Pros

As much as this company allows you to learn, use this opportunity for experience and for your resume so you can move on to better things.

Cons

Lots of micromanaging and also unfairness. Overwhlemed with work and training and bosses believe we got the time for all of it. They give certain people, usually the new employees, do more than their job title asked for because they don't trust them or because they take advantage. Older employees don't need to do such training because they are relatives. Severely underpaid and management believes getting a promotion with little pay and more overtime makes up for your title. Management believes they are better than you and don't like being at fault and give the most outlandish excuse for any problems that arise.
