Pros

good benefits, great people (not senior management).

Cons

PLT in ABQ very cliquish and non inclusive. Stressed TRUST and team work. The only trust in the building was the placard that said "trust".

CI, Real Time, oh brother. Current plant manager came in five years ago and broke a system that wasn't broken.
