Pros

Great pay, decent insurance, family atmosphere among coworkers only unfortunately, if you are wanting to work, they will let you. As of now it's unlimited overtime to anyone, especially maintenance people.

Cons

Company is going down the drain, stock is down to under 4 dollars, and parts are basically non existent. Only 4 of each hydraulic fitting allowed on the working unit at a time. The company is cash poor and it's affecting everyhing, especially maintenance

Pros

Went through many iterations of management, the managment team when I left was very much into ensuring that work life balance was seen too. On the benefits side, healthcare/etc was good. But there were little other benefits being offered.

Cons

Getting anything accomplished in a reasonable amount of time took some work. There is definitely some in fighting between the field and corporate teams. A great deal of individuals working in corporate did not understand that the money for the company was made from pulling coal out of the ground. This lead to friction. Really no upward mobility either.
