Pros

The current shift roster and the fact it is easy to get home if needed. There really isn't much else.

Cons

Putting up with incompetence at every level of supervision having people filling positions with no relevant experience. When there is a problem, which happens on a regular basis, then the answer is usually nothing that adds any value only more heartache to the downtrodden employee.

Pros

Early career engineers are given significant ownership and exposure to complex operational challenges. Strong focus on safety, technical development, and collaboration across disciplines. Opportunities to work on high-impact projects, interact with senior leadership, and contribute to decisions affecting major assets and infrastructure.

Cons

Workloads can be demanding, and priorities can shift quickly based on operational needs. Decision-making processes can be slow due to organizational complexity, and geographic mobility may be necessary for certain career opportunities.
