Pros

Professional work environment with many opportunities for employees to feel like they are making a difference. Safety is noticeably the highest concern

Cons

This is a very vertical company, which means that it becomes hard to see who/where you report to and how your efforts are best used.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
