Horrible Place

Pros

They paid on time, every time. Great place if a number on your back is all you want. They don't care if people steal everything from their tool cribs, so if you're one of those thieves.... GREAT PLACE!

Cons

Everything from management down to laborer's. Hourly wage lowest on site for skilled trades. Shared FR coveralls. Not a big issue until you realize your safety is dependent on old severely used FR coveralls being shared with Welders, Pipe Fitters and so forth... most coveralls were the equivalent of wearing swiss cheese. Management is the epitome of Egocentric Narcissists. Not approachable, not allowed to talk to them, WILL NOT go down to work floor to degenerate themselves with the peasants. Worst place I've ever had the displeasure of working for.
