Pros

Fluor offers top pay. There are a lot of good people to work with.

Cons

Fluor is a big company and it is easy to get lost in the crowd. The company has a tendancy to hire people and put them in a cubicle and have them do nothing. Fluor does not care because the client gets billed for the time. Flour has a tendancy to overstaff the projects and work inefficiently so that they can bill more hours to the client. Anyone contemplating a job with Fluor has to keep in mind that there is a good chance that you will be placed in a cubicle with nothing to do so that your time can be billed to the customer. Management is distant from the people that work for them. They go our of their way to avoid interaction with the "worker bees". It is difficult to have a decent discussion with your supervising manager regarding the work you do and your future career.

Pros

The pay at Fluor is good and if you show competence in your craft they will recognize it and try to advance you to where you belong, unless your attitude indicates that you're still in need of adjustment. There is opportunity to train and advance in a craft or even change crafts. Working on a power plant seems to get you in front of the power plant owners for an interview if you're interested. They beleive in and promote safety, this is a good place to learn safety.

Cons

There does, however, seem to be some favoritism in upper management, or at least people believe that there is. Sometimes people are terminated for reasons that seem selfish on the part of management and I've know a Foreman and General Foreman who felt that it was necessary to 'drag up' because of unethical practices in management. Also, the after hours training, though legitimate, is a challenge to fit into your schedule. I've heard of a few cases where the foreman promises to advance you for months, but can't seem to make it happen; it's better just to ignore promises and stay focused on succeeding in your position.
