Pros

It’s a job in the RP field where you can gain your three years experience.

Cons

Work atmosphere. They hire people without knowledge and throw them into the work where they struggle and force good employees to hold their hands. Management only hires people he personally knows regardless of qualifications. Will require favours of you whenever you ask for time off etc. “I’ll do this for you if next time I need someone to do overtime, you step up”. This isn’t a good way to manage. Pay is grossly less than anywhere else in the nuclear industry.

Pros

Stable company and lots of possible opportunities for growth (in theory). Thorough training in a great many Radiation Protection Disciplines.

Cons

Employee satisfaction not viewed as integral to company's long term success. Unrealistic view of company's position in the nuclear marketplace. Rampant employee dissatisfaction. Management team far too reactive as opposed to being proactive to changes in the industry. Outdated thinking and approaches to staffing and business decisions. Virtually no connection to staff and their interests and how it relates to long term plans. Rampant cronyism while real talent languishes.
