Pros

Good place to start good benefits and pay. Time off and emergency time off is good. Trainning is good if people apply themselfs. Motivated and intelligent people can go a long way. Excellent apprenticeship program.

Cons

A lot of supervision is incompetent belittling and harassing employees to hide their own inadequacies. Too much politicing and posterior kissing to accomplish any serious changes. They have ruinied more than a few employees promising careers. Because of stupid or ignorant policies or personality clashes.
