Pros

It is easy work for the pay. You can destroy equipment and get promoted to bossing. If you have a relative working here you have it made.

Cons

It is easy to start not caring about what do because the moral is very low. Management expects us to do miracles with no support, tools, our training.

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.
