Business outlook
Pros
Challenging work environment, days and hours fly by, everyday is unique. Autonomy for management decisions not a lot of red tape to get daily tasks done, health benefits are excellent, Company has a good reputation for work experience in the industry, 100+ year legacy,
Cons
very long hours 50+per week, oncall 7/24, high demands on management, limited promotion oportunities, lack of recognition. compensation not linked to hours worked, performance or level of responsibility, employees often earn more than the supervisor/manager, stock retirement plan not worth what it was in the 1990's, upper management uses fear and intimidation to get results. Limited vacation time for new employees.
