Pros

They used to have good benefits and were relatively safe from layoffs. The co-workers are great.

Cons

Teamwork has been tossed aside. Company morale is extremely low. Leadership is based on the concept that "no one is more royal than the king", as one senior manager put it. Processes that should address these issues exist, but are so pie-in-the-sky that they cannot succeed. Results from employee surveys are spun to fit expectations. Those that can't be spun in a positive manner are solved by either adding on more required training, or rewording the surveys the next time. An example may illustrate the atmosphere: someone complained that the US flag outside the building either needed to be taken down at night, or illuminated if left up. The solution was to cut down the flagpole. I'm not kidding.

Pros

The company is reputable. Guys are great to work with. Terrific pay and benefits. Love the job.

Cons

Managment has an ax to grind with their associates. They seem to hate them probably, because of their Union pay and benefits. They literally try to screw them out of every benefit there is. They don't do this to their favorites however. Many guys don't say anything because they are afraid of being laid off or retaliated against by being transfered far from home. The Union reps should visit sites more and catch whats going on so the guys aren't the ones retaliated against. Managment is totally and utterly shameful.
