Pros

Safety culture is very strong.

Cons

Literally lied to every single employee during their merger. Absolutely trashed employee benefits. Claim to be “locally owned” according the Carbondale chamber of commerce and are most definitely not local owned. Corparate office is in Buffalo New York. I invested near 7 years of a twenty year career here and was let go when I could no longer make a 3 hour drive in 2 hours. This was a daily commute for me and that I did for 6 years while being continually back seated to other employees and lied to constantly. Toxic work environment based on obfuscation and manipulation as opposed to transparency and honesty. It’s a “family” meaning they will give special treatment to blood relatives and treat everybody else as “policy.” Yeah I’m salty but honest too.
