Pros

-Most employees are good people to work with, very helpful and willing to go out of their way to get tough jobs done; -very clean and bright facilities; -big focus on safety; -some attempts at team-building -have a quarterly bonus system based on company business targets

Cons

-Compensation - pay scales are way behind many other industries, benefits are only slightly better than having no benefits; poor choices for pension investing; -Management - very political, focused on career preservation not on managing, would rather see people overloaded with work than hire for proper staffing levels; -HR department is so management focused, employees don't trust them -quarterly bonus payouts are embarrassingly low, hardly worth the work that must go into the program

Pros

There are still many dedicated employees across the organization who care deeply about the work, customers, and results. Historically, the company benefited from strong institutional knowledge and a collaborative environment that supported operational success.

Cons

In recent years, there has been a noticeable shift in culture and organizational approach following senior leadership changes. This included significant turnover and restructuring that affected both personnel and established processes. As a result, many long-standing practices and experienced team members were replaced or deprioritized quickly, and in some cases without fully retaining institutional knowledge that previously supported efficiency and consistency. This transition has contributed to a decline in morale and trust among portions of the workforce. Communication and employee engagement have also felt more top-down, and the organization has, at times, felt more disconnected from the operational teams who execute the day-to-day work.
