Pros

Amazing parental leave package Company wide shutdown for holiday season Focus on diversity and inclusion (really care to listen and take action) Take action when concerns are mentioned Constantly updating perks and benefits Great mission Great leadership including our CEO

Cons

Salary for a new employees is very high, but for existing employees who are not high on the ladder and not young or new, it is hard to move up or get paid as much as new or young employees.

Pros

Monotonous, not difficult labor Easy to understand processes PLENTY of overtime opportunity

Cons

Management expects you to work involuntary overtime while not working overtime themselves. Management consists of prior technicians that have no previous management experience. Site is constantly trying to do more with less. When something goes wrong, difficult to find a manager and when you do they can't solve the problem themselves half the time. Remote location. Management focuses on small menial aspects of job rather than wellbeing of employees. No real prospect of promotion. Management puts responsibility of senior/lead positions on lower positions without pay raise
